Great.

Sometimes I wish TeX could be a little more intelligent about those
things though.  I get them in many lines which looks like:

foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar SOME_LONG_FILE_NAME_OR_URL_OR_SOMETHING

If TeX just wrapped the line before the last word, there wouldn't be a
problem.  So if you don't know how TeX works, it almost appear as if
they appear at random.

Thanks,
