On Mac, the menu expands to fit long text when the option button pops 
down. You don't have to do anything.

If it doesn't do that on Windows, the only thing I can think of is to 
make the button as wide as the longest text on mouseDown, and when the 
menu closes (in menuPick and mouseRelease,) set the width back to the 
original size.
