I believe in trying to leave code / docs cleaner than I found them.

Most Markdown / ReStructured Text has a tradition of 78-character wide line 
length limits.

So just trying to make the world a better place. That's it.

I'll make some adjustments when I get more time and try again.

In general I think it would be good if we had a bit more of a forest view of 
trying to make docs for all of the things pktgen docs are missing and not get 
too hung up on one tree or another.

I don't necessarily have a ton of time for editing these to the Nth degree, 
but I do want to make life better for the next confused people to avoid a 
storm of duplicate comments and issues.

Matthew.
