Listen for the CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE event. Iterate over
the items to calculate their approximate widths (you could use a
single TextField for this), taking the maximum of them, and set the
width of the column explicitly to that value (the columns can be
accessed through the 'columns' property).
