I'm going crazy over this one. Surely it cannot be that hard. Let's
assume the following table

<table>
        <tr>
                <td>cell a</td>
                <td>cell b</td>
                <td>cell c</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td colspan=3>This is the main cell with a bunch of content here
that makes the table very wide</td>
        </tr>
</table>

Now, the problem is this - the natural inclination of a browser is to
make each of the cells (a, b and c) the same width, so that together
they fill the available space.

I want Cell C to take all the free space, making Cells A and B as
small as possible. I tried setting the width of Cell C to 100% which
sort of works, but it makes the table bigger than it should be.

Please help! How can I achieve this?
