Hello,

I'd like to resurrect this issue: is the "varwidth" equivalent (boxplot 
box-width scaling according to number of data points) emulatable in the 
0.9.* versions of ggplot2? Width still doesn't seem capable of accepting a 
vector with length > 1 ...

Thank you for your input.

Sincerely, Joh
