Add (user-customizable) margins for iPad

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please describe the feature request:

The iPad's screen is quite wide in both landscape and portrait orientations, 
and Frotz fills the entire 
screen in both modes. I find interactive fiction (and text in general) easier 
to read when the number 
of characters in the text column is between 70 and 80. Could a setting be added 
(or possibly a 
touch-interface resize or other direct method) to resize the width of the 
display area to allow for 
more readable line-lengths?

I agree that this would be a good idea; my only further comment would be that 
the default should be to have margins present, and I'm not convinced it should 
be a user-controllable setting. Instapaper and Reeder are examples of iPad apps 
that I think do a good job at the layout of text, I would follow their lead 
here.

Frotz 1.5.3 for iPad now has automatic margins for better readability.
I did not put in a way to turn it off or adjust it.  I think it looks much 
nicer now.
We'll see if anyone complains.
