   Here we go. again.

You wanted it included, not me.  I'm just telling you what you should
do to make Jim happy. =)

Some more nitpicks, I don't think this option deserves an short
option.  And maybe you could make the long option take an argument?
I.e. something like --broader-size=12, this way you won't hit a
"limit", and you give the user freedom to pick her own preference.
Also, the option name sucks, it should be something more descriptive,
maybe --size-width?

One more thing, the man pages get generated from the --help output,
you should document this option in the .texi manual that is located
somewhere in the source tree.

And finally, I hate base64 encoded patches, but that is just me.  If
one inlines them then one can easily comment on details or whatever,
this is impossible with base64 encoded patches.

Cheers.
