This is what I do: Draw an ordinary line with the minimum width the GUI
will allow. This happens to be 0.0003 mm, which is way smaller than the
fab is able to produce. Depending on the policy of the manufacturer I
then either remove the lines in the gerbers with gerbv (select the line
and hit the delete key). Alternatively, I just add a note that the
overly thin lines can be safely ignored.

Hope, this helps,
