wordwrap() does just a simple wordwrap searching for the first whitespace
backwards and breaking the line. 

The formatting fmt does is near-optimal line-breaking according to the paper 
published by Donald E. Knuth:
    "Breaking Paragraphs into Lines", D.E. Knuth and M.F. Plass,
    chapter 3 of _Digital Typography_, CSLI Lecture Notes #78.

It achieves a better result than first fit (backward first fit search) or 
other simple search methods by making use of dynamic programming.

Another suggestion is to replace the wordwrap code by the algorithm of 
Knuth.

I'm looking forward to read your replies,

Dominik
