Currently if all "tabs" added to the JTabbedPane
do not fit in one row, a second row forms. One
may not want more than one row.  I'd like to see
an enhancement made where the user can dictate
how many rows are desired and JTabbedPane
compresses the tabs down to that many rows, even
if the tabs are not readable, i.e. the user
sees "...". 

Then like in JTable with compressed columns one should be able to grab an edge of the tab and
drag it wider so that one can read the text on 
the tab.
