 Sometimes labels are very long, such as "River of the Big Dry Blue Reef".
 UMN Mapserver offers a way to wrap labels based on 2 parameters : [[BR]]

 * a max length (integer)[[BR]]

 * a wrap character, space by default[[BR]]

 See http://mapserver.org/mapfile/label.html for more information.

 I do not know how hard it is to implement this feature in the new label
 engine (considering curves, etc.)
