Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] improve get_feat.pl output when all features are displayed

Jon,

As requested, those patches improve the output of the script, when all features
are displayed.

The first patch was already posted as-is at v3.

Patch 2 is optional. IMO, it makes more sense for the admin guide to show
the architectures where the features are OK, then TODO, and finally the
ones that are incompatible with the features. I already sent it together
with a comment.

Patch 3 is new: it tries to reduce the width of the table, in order for it
to better fit on a terminal. With the patch, the number of columns were
reduced, in order to better fit at console output. Before the patch, the
output takes 281 lines with 158 columns (total size: 38.9 kB). 
After the patch, displaying all features require 439 lines and 92 columns
(total size: 37.6 kB).

While not implemented, it shold be trivial to allow controlling the
number of columns via command line (with a 2 line patch).

I ended dropping such control basically because I was too lazy
to add the helper for the two new command line parameters ;-)
(and because it probably doesn't matter much sense for the
user to control it  - I guess).

Mauro Carvalho Chehab (3):
  scripts: get_feat.pl: make complete table more coincise
  scripts: get_feat.pl: change the group by order
  scripts: get_feat.pl: reduce table width for all features output
