It appears that `longlines-auto-wrap' as a variable can't be set
directly - at least to no effect. I have to explicitly do (longlines-
auto-wrap 0) to turn it off.
I agree that the function `longlines-auto-wrap' should toggle when
given no argument.
The function `longlines-auto-wrap' seems to expect the variable to be
buffer-local, since it wraps the current buffer in addition to setting
the variable. Should we add a call to `make-variable-buffer-local'
for it?

I've fixed this on the trunk.
(It's probably not important enough to check in to the branch, because
frankly turning off auto-wrap is a silly thing to do; it mostly
defeats the purpose of longlines mode. It's there primarily due to
legacy reasons.)
