1. You can change the thickness of horizontal and vertical lines in 
   the *entire* table, by changing the value of the length parameter 
   "\arrayrulewidth". Changing the widths of *some* of the lines is 
   a bit more tricky. Please see the section "Variable-width rules"
   of the "LaTeX Companion".

2. Double horizontal lines can be produced by "\hline\hline" and double 
   vertical lines by || in the preamble. For finer control, use the 
   package "hhline"

3. For dashed lines, use the package "arydshln"
