Subject: Looking for the Ruby way for the following

Currently I am using the following rather ugly bit of Ruby code
to calculate the maximum length of the file names strings (plus one)
in the array file_list,

   fn_width = 0
   file_list.each{ |fn| fn_width = [File.basename(fn).size, fn_width].max }
   fn_width += 1

Can someone offer a more elegant method?  My brain seems to have shutdown
on this problem today...

Thanks,
