Well, not really OT ...

Now it exists ... (this reminds me of an old computer joke about God).

It's in CVS now, module Draw: Draw.GetStringWidth(some_string).

It uses the current global font, G.font, since that is what Draw.Text()
uses.  It's the font system in blender/intern/bmfont/ , not the new one,
though that can be supported in the future.

Any problem with it, just tell us.
