I'm not sure margins should be auto-adjusted at all.  Whatever
application sets up those margins, they most probably need all that
space, and Emacs should not second guess such applications.  For
example, linum-mode sets the margin just wide enough to display the
longest line number; make the margin smaller, and the numbers will be
truncated.  That's a bug in my book.
