Allow env. variable LS_COLWIDTHS to specify minimum column widths,
effectively overriding the dynamically-sized-column feature. This
is mostly useful for non-interactive use, where it may be necessary
to ensure that listings taken at different times have columns that
line-up correctly. I have been assured that at least one large,
well-known program will soon be taking advantage of this. :-)
