Ye that would be nice, guess I just did the the easy option.

It would evolve:-

- Finding the width of the terminal df is running on, the "COLUMNS" 
environment variable could override this.

- Then calculate if all the df columns would fit. Then based on this, print on 
one line or split the line in two. And arrange the column widths accordingly.

It is far nicer, but how do you find out the running terminals width, without 
curses? I did a quick look round, but found nothing.
