[BRLTTY] Odd numbers of braille cells

Hi,
Some braille devices have ~70 cells for instance, which makes 80-columns
screens a bit difficult to read.
A solution is to use
stty cols 70
so as to narrow the screen to 70 columns (applications resize their
output as appropriate). Maybe this should get documented somewhere in
the documentation of such devices ?
Maybe we could add a hook in the linux screen driver which would call
ioctl(0, TIOCSWINSZ, {ws_row=24, ws_col=70}) itself ?
Note: with kernel earlier than 2.6.14, stty cols 70 makes the vga screen
a bit distorted, but it makes no harm.
Regards,
Samuel
