It would be usefull if we can affect to a TableColumn a kind of SWT.MULTI, SWT.WRAP style so a long 
text could be display in a row. The height of changing accordingly.

Linux/GTK implementation of table column can be easily made multiline inserting
"\n" into text - should work in current implementations.
Windows implementation for this would be very tricky. In Win32 programming
people either replace table control or table header control to get this
functionality or create all kind of tricks to full ListView32 window to allow
multiliner. I did a quick research for this Win32 problem and did not see any
easy solution. I don't expect it to be solved any time soon.

I think in some cases its a very useful thing, if i have the possibility to wrap the text im my Tableheaders.
