* [sup-devel] [BRANCH] Ctrl-W behaviour

I use Ctrl-W when deleting labels from a thread, and it's been a minor
annoyance that this is slightly broken - when there is a space before
the cursor, Ctrl-W will just delete the space, and you need to press
Ctrl-W a second time to delete the word aswell. This is not how I'm used
to it working in vim or on the command line.

So I've now had a go at fixing it, in the branch called ctrl_w - just
one commit so far, and it took quite a bit of farting around to get this
far. I'll review it when it's not the early hours of the morning and
merge it into next at that point.

Please have a go and see if you can get any strange behaviour - I had
some strange behaviour with single-letter labels, but I seem to have
fixed that ...

I've now merged this into next. I forgot to put the patches in email
last night, so I've put the branch diff at the end of this email.

I've been using this and it works great.  I was annoyed by the original
behavior too.
