Subject: [PATCH 1/1] emacs: smart-mode-line: don't make fixed-width fills

this bothered me forever.  it's *super* annoying on low-resolution
screens, especially with horizontal splits (side by side) where the
effective width of the mode-line for each window is considerably
smaller than the display's width
