Hello Adrien.

I really love Emacs, but I'm POV-ing in a windows environment 
these days (using POV-Ray for windows).

And therefore I use POV's integrated CodeMax editor, which
allows for far more than 72 characters on each line.
(I don't know if there's any way to limit it's line length.)

I also use those "lines" for separating the different sections
in my code, so I would insert several "separating lines" manually
anyway.

I could probably make a setup with a windows variant of Emacs 
with a POV-mode, learn it some anti-line-wrapping tricks,
make it start POV-renderings when I hit e.g. a function key 
and have it load the image into image viewer after the rendering.

But: I'm quite satisfied with the CodeMax editor so I probably
won't do this before I'm leaving MS Windows for a (L)Un(u)ix
environment.
