lo-array-gripes.cc: Remove FIXME's related to buffer size.
* lo-array-gripes.cc: Remove FIXME's related to buffer size. Shorten sprintf
buffers from 100 to 64 characters (still well more than 19 required).
Use 'const' decorator on constant value for clarity. Remove extra space
between variable and array bracket.

| 2993 | 8 GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical |
| 2330 | 9 computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for |
| 10 solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. | |

43 will also need a recent version of g++ or another ANSI C++ compiler. |
| 7088 | 44 You will also need a Fortran 77 compiler or f2c. If you use f2c, you |
| 45 will need a script like fort77 that works like a normal Fortran | |
| 46 compiler by combining f2c with your C compiler in a single script. | |

| 2330 | 50 GNU Make is very portable and easy to install. |
