GTF output Attribute string maximum length is "only" 255 characters #82

To my surprise, my transcript_id were truncated by cufflinks because they were too long. Of course, my input GTF has the full length identifier. This should at least be stated somewhere in the manual, and my warned during analysis. Best would be to increase the maximum length of that string. Is there a quick work-around, like modifying the string type in the code and rebuilding? Of course, I can always change the identifier for something else, but I would prefer not to.
