For my purposes, it turned out all I really needed was to *get rid of*
all auto-wrapping in faxcover (client I'm working on wraps it OK, and
I'd like it WYSIWYG).  I can send you the modified faxcover.c++ if you
like, or the deb file I generated (useful if you're using Debian or a
derivative), but you probably want auto-wrapping.

My code to eliminate the auto-wrapping and just accept wrapping from
client is almost trivial.

Turns out, the faxcover auto-wrapping code is not only hardcoded, but
buggy (you lose characters if you have any '\n' wrapping after
auto-wrapping), so simply substituting a parameter for the hardcoded
'35' won't completely fix things.

If you fix it, folks will probably be grateful, but 4.1 probably has
this all knocked out already.
