Currently we do not have a good way to get the terminal width in Perl,
because the ioctl header is broken, at least on Linux; when I tried
"require 'sys/ioctl.ph';", perl complained that it can't locate
asm/ioctls.ph. We skip h2ph processing of /usr/include/asm/, due to
problems with some of the headers there.
So I guess we either need to fix the ioctl header somehow, or resort
to parsing stty output.
