man for wcols says:

>  Note: columns are separated by whitespace by default, use
>    $PDL::IO::Misc::colsep to specify an alternate separator.

After some checking, I find that if the PDLs given to wcols are
INTEGERS, a space is used to separate columns. If wcols is given FLOAT
data, a TAB is used.

Easy to fix, once diagnosed. But since some applications (specifically
gdaltransform, in my case) care about the difference between whitespace
and whitespace, it would be better if the behavior of wcols was
consistent.
