Patch below changes ps(1) to automatically size column widths according =
to their
contents.  =46rom the user point of view, it prevents breaking layout =
with too wide values
and in most cases makes output narrower.  =46rom the developer point of =
view, it removes
the need to specify widths.  Testing is welcome - the patch shouldn't =
change ps(1)
behaviour except slightly changing the widths, but the code changes are =
pretty large
and it's quite possible I've missed something.
