limited --width argument for fmt

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Hi,

This a bug report against fmt.

address@hidden test]$ fmt -w 12345
fmt: invalid width: `12345'


What I'm trying to achieve here is to unwrap lines, aka "tr '\n' ' '"
but using fmt.  According to GNU Coding Standards, GNU tools should not
have hard limits on the size of input or parameters when it doesn't make
sense...

And a feature request: -w -1 may mean unlimited width.

I know both of the above paragraphs are defeating the purpose of fmt in
the first place, but..., you know (-:

Cheers,
