Scrolling vertically is MUCH easier than scrolling horizontally.  If
dumping the environment annoys people, then IMHO the right fix is to
let them turn off the env dump.  (It's another one of those things
that you're most likely to need when developing and debugging your
buildbot setup; once things are humming along nicely, I imagine it's
just noise.)
