A technque to help with this: http://blog.directededge.com/2010/04/30/the-curious-case-of-equidistant-boxes-a-css-fail/
Takes advantage of a browser's tendency to distribute 'excess' width evenly among TDs with unspecified widths.
Checked on Mac FF3.6, Safari 4.0.3, Chrome 5.0.342.9. That the spacer TDs have non-empty content is important for Safari/Chrome, but not FF.
May break in other compatibility modes...
