Add "Extrusion width:" and "Extrusion spacing:" to the accuracy panel, as advanced options.

The two would be tied to each other, with changes to one being reflected in the other.

In skeinforge, Extrusion spacing = Extrusion width / 1.272.

Note: When printing a 2mm wide rectangle with an extrusion spacing of 1/3mm (or extrusion width of .424), and 2 extra shells, Skeinforge lays down exactly 6 filaments, with equal spacing between them. This implies that the finished part will be about 1/10mm wider than expected, which could explain a small part of the issues we have with hole diameter in skeinforge.
