While the current word wrap function works great on
screen in the normal text editor there seem to be some
problems with other parts of the eclipse ide:

1) local history

the file compare browsers shows different lines but
with a whole paragraph in one line there is little to see

2) cvs

the same with cvs. when checking for differences in
versions of text files there is little to see when
whole paragraphs are in one "line".

Word wrap should therefore support a mode where one can
set a limit (let's say 72 char) for each line. Words
are then automatically wrapped around lines while
reaching this limit.

    Its done... well at least its now implemented with a
    linetracker, rather than one of the biggest hacks of all
    time :) Not sure whats its impact will be on a CVS compare,
    as this still reports different line numbers for word, than
    the actual line number.
