Added default to add a spacer to the dock.

I've used this on Snow Leopard and Lion and it works great. It may be worth documenting that you need to run "killall Dock" after many of these to get them to show up.

Thanks for the list.

Thanks for the pull request.

For future reference, it’s also possible to add spacers to the right side of the Dock (where the Trash is).

# Add a spacer to the left side of the Dock (where the applications are)
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
# Add a spacer to the right side of the Dock (where the Trash is)
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'

I won’t use this myself, but I’ll consider pulling it in and commenting it by default.

P.S. The killall Dock is performed at the bottom of .osx — see the # Kill affected applications line :)
