Thanks!

Ouch!  I simply searched for the string 'footer' in the Texinfo info
pages and I got no hit.  I now see that the description of
`WORDS_IN_PAGE` is in the 'Customization of Navigation and Headers'
section (as it should be), which I missed.

I think the main reason for not quickly finding the variable is that
`WORDS_IN_PAGE` is not a good name, since it is not easily possible to
deduce what it is good for.  Maybe an alias could be added, say,
`FOOTER_BUTTONS_WORD_LIMIT`; this would be probably more helpful than
changing its default value.
