Description of problem:
"seq -w" will zero pad the output to the width of the widest natural output.  It
would be nice to also be able to specify the width desired.  For example,

% seq -W 4 9 10
0009
0010

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sh-utils-2.0.11-5.src.rpm


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. seq -w
