I've included the patch below.

I've never used the `line-spacing' variable myself (and my guess is that
few do, which is probably why your message didn't get any responses),
but I did a

  (setq line-spacing 20)

now, and I see that this puts more space at the bottom of the line.  The
proposed patch allows centring instead, which seems eminently reasonable
to me.  (Perhaps this should even be the default?)

Does anybody have any comments here before I apply the patch?
