mk_wcwidth.c is Markus Kuhn's implementation of wcwidth giving the
width of Unicode characters in "columns" which we thought we might
need a year ago to allow Fl_Text_Display. Matt then rewrote Fl_Text_*
without the concept of "fixed width fonts" because it wasn't clear
whether this made sense for non-Latin characters.

Unless someone experienced in CJK or Arabic or Indic scripts can make
a case for having "fixed width fonts" we probably don't need this file.
Unfortunately it's a chicken and egg situation: when we didn't support
UTF-8 / Unicode, we were unlikely to have users with such experience.
