     * Pack specified column. Sets the preferred width of the specified visible
     * column so it is will be just wide enough to show the column head and the
     * widest cell value in the column + {@code margin} each side.
     * 
     * Taken from http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.swing.table/PackCol.html
     * 
     * NB: If a table has more than 100 rows, then only the width of the column
     * header will be checked and not the widest cell value. Otherwise it could
     * take too long.
     * 
     * @param table
     *            table with column to pack
     * @param vColIndex
     *            column to pack
     * @param margin
     *            margin to leave at each side of the column (resulting in an
     *            additional width of 2*margin pixels).
