optparse should pay attention to the $COLUMNS
environmental variable if it is available. 
optparse.IndentedHelpFormatter.__init__ should take
None as the default for width, and do something like:

if width is None: width = os.environ.get('COLUMNS', 80)

Better if it's put in HelpFormatter, so that
IndentedHelpFormatter and TitledHelpFormatter both act
the same.

OK, just checked in a fix in the Optik CVS:
  lib/help.py rev 1.13
  test/test_optik.py rev rev 1.29

Marking this bug fixed but still open, since it's not in
Python's CVS yet.  If I hustle, I should be able to get it
into Python 2.4...

Closing: seems like Greg's been hustling. <wink>
