Page Layout ⇒ Spacing in List of Figures without setspace package

[RegularPlanarGraph]

Greetings all,

I am know this topic has been discussed before, but I need entries in my table of contents and list of figures, to be double spaced between entries, but single spaced within the entries should they be too long to fit on one line.

This topic was addressed here:
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... ?f=5&t=723

And the solution is to use the tocloft and setspace package together to achieve the result. I am not able to use setspace in my project (I am working with some previously written macros/templates that have based everything on using renewcommand{\baselinestrech}{1.0}, or {2.0} to control spacing. I attempted replacing all occurrences of the above commands with the related \singlespacing \doublespacing commands (e.g., tried to switch over to the setspace package), but there it breaks a few things and I don't really have time to figure out why.

So does anyone know a way to use the tocloft package without setspace to achieve the result shown in the linked post?

Thanks for any suggestions.
