I figured I'd chime in and say that as far as I'm concerned this is one of the biggest basic functionality issues remaining with Cura. Any time I slice an object with small walls I have to mess around with the wall thickness to get it to fill in the small gaps in a reasonably manner.
That said, I know you've mentioned that this is an issue with Skeinforge and not an easy fix, so I understand your reasons for not addressing it.

Having thought about the issue a little bit, I think I might have a solution how to eliminate any gap, and increase the resolution for fine details:
within SF (outline.py, or however it's called), instead of taking the nozzle/extrusion diameter as a fixed and unchangeable parameter, how about the section, that determines how many outlines are printed, would be able to divide the extrusion width in half or 1/4?
taking the examples (the rake) above, cura would be able to handle everything down to 0.2mm width: a part is 5mm wide, and then thins down to 1mm, and then down to 0.5mm (i.e. the panel mount hole for a headphone jack). SF/cura would start with 2 outlines (to make a 1mm wall on each side) plus some regular infill (3mm wide), then make 2_0.5mm outlines to make the 1mm wide section, and when it encounters a modulus=0 situation (width <= nozzle/extrusion), it simply cuts the extrusion width in half and renders the 0.5mm wide section as 2_0.25mm, which would print just beautifully. in theory it should be possible to go to a quarter, but that is speculative, and would require some real-world testing, but I don't want to dismiss it.
by dividing previously un-dividable outlines into thinner outlines, any gap can be filled, and smaller and thinner details on the outsides can be printed.
