Most platforms can get by perfectly well with the default command line size,

How big of a command line do you need? For no scientific reason other
than there not being any obvious need for a larger size MIPS is using 256
and I think unless you're asking for a huge number it will be better to
just raise that constant.
The answer depends on the platform, but it's at 438 characters on a typical
platform. If I *had* to pick a number, I'd probably go for 512 characters; I
just hate to force others to use memory they aren't going to use.
I wonder if the memory could be dynamically allocated. It would of
course be a much larger patch.
