Thanks Julian.  I have applied your patch with a couple of minor
variations.  I added a second parameter to print_symbol() which is the
desired width (for when --wide is not in effect) and if the width is
negative then the symbol is forced to be exactly that width.  I added
documentation to the description of the --wide switch, explaining its
new behaviour, and I added a call to print_symbol() inside
process_syminfo().

Cheers
