[PATCH] Splits long lines in manual

[Tim Wootton]

Actually that diff color is really neat, and now I've used it: I broke
way more lines than that. The spaces that are left are the lines that my
awk script accidentally broke in the right place and I thought I didn't
need to visit on my by-hand edit.

 I'll send you a patch shortly to take out the additional spaces.

cheers,

Tim
