I believe most of these changes are fixing comments that were written as
single lines to begin with, and were changed to multiline format by
pgindent which has extremely narrow (ahem) ideas about the appropriate
right margin for code and comments. Bruce, could we *please* fix
pgindent to not enforce a 72-column limit? 72 hasn't been interesting
since people stopped punching FORTRAN code into cards. 79 would be a
reasonable line length limit.
