80 char frames are the default configuration of Emacs.

   Fair enough. How long is too long?

67 for the first line.  That is a given.  68 already forces an ugly
continuation line in the apropos output.

To me 70 for most subsequent lines with an absolute limit of 79 seems
better than the current 60.  But I do not believe that this is a
really big deal.
