OK, I figured it out and the changes I made are in the 3.0 branch.

I need to explain what I did. Cosmetically, it's very small, but it will 
have a ripple on how we do the localization. Markus, please note that I 
modified a couple of the English lang files.

We have a number of entries in the lang files that end in some arbitrary 
number of tabs. e.g., 

bb_adv_cdburncmd="CD Brenn-Befehl\t\t\t"

These tabs have no business being in language files. So what I did was to 
restructure the menu code so that the amopunt of whitespace that comes out 
is a function of the size of the strings that we print. As it sits now, 
all of the languages (besides English) need to have their tabs removed.

As a side effect, we will not be constrained by a) how people have set 
their tabs in the terminal emulator, and b) whether we actually want to 
consume columns in units of whole tabs.

Make sense?
