I have a buffer in text-mode that I'd like to align using align.el.
Here are the contents:

    max 4096 cs  70 ap_mp  9 t  55% np 63 ap 63
    max 6291.456 cs  70 ap_mp  9 t  55% np 63 ap 63
    max 8192 cs  70 ap_mp  9 t  55% np 63 ap 63

I'd like to align the fields to the following:

    max 4096     cs  70 ap_mp  9 t  55% np 63 ap 63
    max 6291.456 cs  70 ap_mp  9 t  55% np 63 ap 63
    max 8192     cs  70 ap_mp  9 t  55% np 63 ap 63

Anyone have a good recipe for this?

BTW, I'm using the align.el that comes with Emacs 21.
