Summary: The config manager can create files with too long lines

Initial Comment:
Latest SVN snapshot

It is possible (albeit unlikely) for the config manager to create a config file that cannot be read because the lines are too long. I'm speculating that this is what happened in the following forum thread:

http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=5679

Where it looks like someone used an extremely long path name for Zak McKracken.

The simplest "solution" is, of course, to simply increase the maximum line length, to make it even less likely to happen. But that doesn't seem pretty.
