> BTW, is it impossible to use word wrapping for man pages?

`man' uses its own word wrapping.

Currently I'm testing your window changes.  Do you think
creating an automated test would help?

I tried to run such tests in batch mode.  Both `frame-width' and
`frame-height' return the value 10.  And `window-height' returns 8.
After calling `split-window', the function `window-height' returns
the value 4.  This means that it's possible to create a batch test
for splitting windows.  But calling `make-frame' from the window test
fails with:

  Test window-tests backtrace:
    make-terminal-frame(nil)
    tty-create-frame-with-faces(nil)
    make-frame()
    ...
  Test window-tests condition:
      (error "Unknown terminal type")

How could Ert help testing in interactive mode?
