For everyone interested in mode precise table alignment,

The attached patch should allow table columns to be aligned pixel-wise.
It means, that tables should look much better with variable-pitch fonts
and unicode symbols.

I would like to get more feedback about how the patch works for
different setups. It appears to work flawlessly for me, yet Frank
reported issues (even with emacs -Q). I need more datapoints to figure
out how to fix the patch.

An example table that requires pixel alignment is attached. Please, try
to align the table and report if there are any issues. For me, the
aligned table looks like in test_screenshot2.png. It should not look
like test_screenshot.png. If it is, I would like to know the Emacs
version, OS, and results using emacs -Q, if possible.
