Is the problem that the message is wider than your screen? The message is 80
chars wide, which is the de facto standard for screen width.  What do you
recommend instead? Do you think the only adequate solution is to use a library
such as libcurses to find out the actual terminal width?

Actually, there was more to the messages (that was actually the
bytestring repository), which got wrapped onto the next line. Then,
when it was time to display the next message, darcs cleared that line
only and displayed another one. I wasn't very coherent last night, was
I?
