Most of these file references aren't actually more than 50 characters.  They
get over 50 when you include the @var{} inside the file, or in one case when
the greedy regex gets a closing } at the end of the line.

In my quick check, the only one that is really longer than 50 characters is
the one from Learning under MacOS X.

Thanks,

Carl
