Detailed Description

Prints out a table, padded to make it pretty.

call pprint_table with an output (e.g. sys.stdout, cStringIO, file)
and table as a list of lists. Make sure table is "rectangular" -- each
row has the same number of columns.

Minor modifications by <peter.waller@cern.ch> to include a "-" seperator for
the header, and to change the number format code.
