Description

Hi everybody,
update: changed the name to better reflect what I did.

I had some time to work on the table-layout="auto" feature.
Inspired by the postprocessing done in issue FOP-1226, I tried to propagate the computed values up the rendering process. Finally, I decided to opt for preprocessing and what can I tell you - it works, even for auto tables in fixed tables in auto tables (see attached xml files).
Since I was mainly focused on the kind of tables found at my employer, I would like to get your feedback on how well this patch does for other users' tables.
If you deem the effort worthwhile, I would try to port this patch into the trunk version - currently, it only applies to the tagged version 1.1.
