Once upon a time, in my first full time job, I wrote such a layout 
algorithm for formatting pages to fax... I *really* don't want to repeat 
that experience ;-)

Automatic column flowing is just not something that ever comes out well. 
There's way too much context humans put into play when doing such 
layouts that make a machine approximation pale in comparison. I 
personally think we should stay away from column layouts except in 
strict contexts.
