In curl 80 columns works GREAT!! I have very few problems there,
sometimes it is a little tough in gdb with you can't see all of your
arguments but it is not a big deal.
The problem I have in libssh2, is that a lot of the function names
are close to 40 characters long. Add a variable and a couple of
arguments and a few indention levels at 4 char per and you are beyond
80 before getting anything useful. I release you and other, and even
me like to use 80 column terminal windows a lot, that is why I did
limit the line length to a fix value. I also did keep it as short as
possible without adding too many breaks, but the internal function's
names are just sooo long. That is my issue in this one project.
