[help-texinfo] conditional line-breaks for @example text?

[Rick Jones]

I'm updating the netperf manual:

http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/trunk/doc/netperf.texi (et al)

and have a slight, though frustrating issue with text in an @example - 
netperf's output can often have rather long lines.  When generating 
.html from netperf.texi this isn't a big deal, but for .pdf and .ps 
output it results in either truncation, or failure.

I'm not sure I'd like to have a tiny font be used to avoid the issue, is 
there any way to "conditionally" break the long lines when the output is 
going to be something where they would be truncated?

thanks,

rick jones
