Sorry Loui, I figured since I was rewriting the bulk of the file that
I'd update the rest for consistency's sake.  The new instructions take
a bit more room than before so I expanded the text width to be in line
with the standard (used loosely) 80 columns, shortening the length
again.

FWIW the HACKING doc says the coding style is 79 columns or less and
is itself written with a larger text width.

I can submit a follow-up path removing the aur-general link if desired.

Cheers
