A "patch, please" reply is completely fine.  Going to the trouble of
making a patch
wherein the patch is not considered is not quite so fine.  I guess I
should make it
clearer:

  would you-all accept a patch that added a "-g" option to set the goal
  column as opposed to deriving it by multiplying the width by 0.93 ?

It would permit results consistent with BSD and Plan-9 flavors of fmt.

Thanks !
