Subject: [PATCH] Tweak width of epigraph for two-column layout

The default of \epigraphwidth is .5\textwidth.
It is too wide for two-column layout.
This commit modifies it to .65\columnwidth for two-column
layout.

I am not so sure about this.  For example, see Chapter 3's epigraph,
which ends up with a separate line for the last word.  Ditto for the
"Glossary and Bibliography", and Appendix A.

Chapter 16 ends up with a piled-high epigraph, as does Chapter 7.

Of course, the one-column version has similarly compressed epigraphs.

So I am wondering if it might be better to leave the two-column
epigraph width alone and to expand the single-column epigraph width.

Thoughts?

							Thanx, Paul

Okay. To give the same width of epigraph for both one- and two-column
layouts, I'm sending a patch that sets an absolute length for
\epigraphwidth as a reply to this message. This is a bit narrower than
the original two-column one, but it seems OK to me. What do you think? 

                                          Thanks, Akira.

[PATCH v2] Tweak width of epigraph

Subject: [PATCH v2] Tweak width of epigraph

The default of \epigraphwidth is .5\textwidth.
This causes different widths of one-column and two-column layouts.
This commit defines it in an absolute length to specify same
width for both layouts
