mdwtools.tex: Fix spacing of footnote markers in the document title.

The default document classes, and, separately, the `doc' package,
arrange for `\maketitle' to set footnote markers without taking up
horizontal space.  Apparently, if you have author names with
affiliations in footnotes, then the footnote marker shifts the names
visually off-centre.

We don't have this problem here, so turn that off, and remove the
compensatory `\space' following the marker.

+% Wait!  Did you notice that |\mdw@titlehack|?  What's that about?
+%
+% It turns out that the default document classes hack the footnote insertion
+% commands to make footnote symbols take up no horizontal space in the title.
+% Apparently this makes author names look as if they're centred properly when
+% there are affiliation footnotes.  Anyway, \package{doc} perpetuates this
+% silliness, but it makes a mess of the version markers I insert, so I must
+% deploy countermeasures.
