The code looks good to me -- Eli points out that it would be great if
you could mode the column sized with a mouse, too, but I think that's
kinda an orthogonal issue.  If somebody were to add a mouse-drag thing
for tabulated mode (and somebody should), then it looks like your
function would perhaps work well as the underlying function for that
command.

So unless anybody objects, I'd like to include this command in
tabulated-list.el (and add documentation, of course).
