It is an "improvement" in the sense that, when pop-up-frames is
non-nil, Emacs 23 will behave like Emacs 20 did.
AFAICS, we started setting COLUMNS in the environment because on some
GNU/Linux system, under X, not setting it would result in over-long
lines. To avoid that with pop-up-frames, we could set COLUMNS to the
value 80. For a frame that is not yet created, 80 sounds like a
better default than the width of some other frame/window.
