Experimenting with it anyways.

Your patch works well, except that wrap-column behaves like default- 
wrap-column: I need to set it and create a new buffer for it to come  
into effect. It should affect the current buffer when it is changed.
The next step would be to allow for wrap-column to follow the width  
of the window (probably easy) and to support - at least in the case  
of (eq wrap-colum 'max) (i.e. follow the window) - variable-width fonts.

Having functions to move up and down "into" a wrapped line would be  
something that would be a great help in Emacs 22. If they're not  
bound to up/down by default, the functions can't break much. (if I  
had the technical knowledge about Emacs' display engine, I would  
write a patch - sorry!)
