To recap: Even when the window is very wide, `C-x b' renders with
Buffer-menu-name-width 19
I propose to allow nil as a value here (and default Emacs to it), and
nil would then mean "compute based on window width". The computation
would end up with 19 as the result if the window is 80 characters long,
but progressively make it longer if the window is wider (according to
some curve), but never make it longer than actual buffer names displayed.
Does this sound reasonable to everybody?
