That's quite unsatisfactory, especially since some (most?) languages are not as
terse as English.

And there's sufficient place in the GUI's Description column... shortening the
strings is just a workaround.
Using a sane (read larger) maximum string length would be much better IMHO.

Does the fact that this NEWCPLINFOW szInfo field length definition is set to 64
by MSDN necessary imply that it can't be changed in Wine, for compatibility
reasons?
