I am not sure, but maybe that would be a good idea: gather 1,2,3,...
tokens and pack them (as a whole) into an hbox until its width is
greater than the frame width, output it, and repeat until there's
nothing left.  This would be very time-consuming (at least without lua),
but it should preserve kerns etc.

Also, instead of examining the width, one could probably pack the tokens
into an \hbox to ... {...} and examine the badness.

I don't dare to try to implement it, though - at least not at 00:17 AM;)
