Re: ANN: Gorm Version 0.1.0

Hi,

I tried to make the resizing behave like it does on MOSX and OS4.2.
On those two systems, sizeToFit does not resize the column so that the
header titles fit, it justs make all the headers the same size, so that's
what I tried to implement in GNUstep (with a few enhancements)

Although I am not opposed to Nicola's idea, i believe it won't be very
useful once NSTableView is perfectly integrated in Gorm.app.
