 I didn't add the lines/columns data to the class atm. although it's a
simple addition to do so. And then we could, yes.

 Saying that we already use the textwrap module in yum/update_md.py
(just assuming 80ish columns), so there's no reason to not do the same
elsewhere ... although getting the column value from terminfo will
produce a better output.

 One of the BZ I have that goes with this is if you have a lot of _long_
repoids, where the difference is all in the endings ... you can't tell
which repo. a package belongs to in list commands. This could also help
fix that.
