Attached is a slightly more flexible drawTabbedString handler, which
handles left, center, right, and decimal tabs, with space, dot, dash,
and underline fill.

I have this accept a string with embedded \t tab characters. It would be
cleaner to have it accept a list or tuple, thus allowing the caller to
split the string using other separators, but that makes the name a bit
less meaningful.
