Title: some changes

Hi, this is like my new favorite emacs feature. I've tried some other packages over the years that try to do this but they have been fairly clunky. Thanks for putting it together.

Here are a few changes for your consideration:

1. Add the ability to make the ruler line dashed. This looks a little more polished than a solid line, and more importantly is useful when working with two windows side-by-side in a single frame. Otherwise the ruler line is visually confusing with the line marking the separation between the two windows.

2. Add a `turn-on-fci-mode' function to unconditionally turn on the mode. This is similar to `turn-on-auto-fill', 'turn-on-font-lock', etc and is useful for hooks: (add-hook 'diff-mode-hook 'turn-on-fci-mode)

3. Make `fci-rule-column' buffer-local. This allows one to specify a different value for different modes.

Thanks
