The problem is: the codec table has long text, and latex longtables
tries to write them on a single line, but that generates ugly tables,
going over the page border.

It seems the easiest way (from latex POV) is to use columns of "type"
p{length}, but it doesn't seem to allow dynamic length. Did you ever
face this kind of problem? is there something inside sphinx that could
help us resolve this problem?
