If you can live with a static map (no pan, zoom. street view, etc), 
there's how-to info at

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/#Paths

You can specify the thickness and color of your lines. I think I'd use 
Matthew's method to produce the path strings, and then paste those into 
the URL.
