One of the many things that I learned at the user conference is the
correct way to send patches (thanks Jay!). This email is a posting of
mysql bug http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=26780 which is my patch to
add --auto-vertical-output to the client. This option compares the
width of the result set to the width of the terminal and enables
vertical display if the result is wider than the terminal window. This
saves rerunning a query with \G when the results are wrapped on the
terminal.

The patch applies against 5.0.41

The patch is at http://ebergen.net/patches/auto_vertical.patch
