i'm running on an i386 (so perhaps i'm biased) but i can run the
console in any of 25, 28, 40 and 50 lines, with 80 or 132 columns.
how easy would it be to make ddb automatically pick these from the
pcvt console driver and use then instead of the default 18 and 50?

i've looked at the code, but it's non-trivial :) for me at this
point...
