I just installed some changes to the :align-to and :width space
display properties.  And added support for non-window systems.

Specifically, (scroll-bar . x) and (*-fringe . x) no longer exists.
Instead, you have to include scroll-bar and *-fringe in the
proper spots yourself.

Note that you can include nil in the header-line-format list,
as long as the first element of the list is a string (just put ""
there).

Something like:

   Replace lsb and rsb by:

          (sb (ruler-mode-space 'scroll-bar
                                 'face 'ruler-mode-pad-face))

   and use

     (if (nth 2 (window-fringes))
         ;; fringes outside margins.
         (list "" (and (eq scroll-bar-mode 'left) sb) lf lm
               ruler rm rf (and (eq scroll-bar-mode 'right) sb))
       ;; fringes inside margins.
       (list "" (and (eq scroll-bar-mode 'left) sb) lm lf 
             ruler rf rm (and (eq scroll-bar-mode 'right) sb)))))
