Description:
Tk: v8.5a2
OS: WinXPsp2
Built with makefile.vc using VC7

\w macros aren't reconized by man2help. This patch 
adds the macro to man2help2.tcl and adds support for 
single quote "'" quoted text in man2tcl.c so that 
this will work.

The missing \w macro was originally reported in bug 
983146. This patch adds rudimentary support for this 
macro. It doesn't calculate the exact width, but uses 
a 'magic number' (average width of a character) that was 
already provided in the code. This macro is currently only 
used in Tk's bind.n, but by supporting it, it is possible 
to implement a working version of the .AS macro.

\w'text' is an *roff escape sequence that is replaced by the
width of "text" in the current font.  With a bit of luck you
can ignore them...?

I'll look these over.
