hsize evaluation

[Philip Taylor]

And a more general solution —

> \newdimen \globalhsize
>
> \globalhsize = \hsize
>
> \hsize = 3 in
>
>
> \newtoks \globalfootlinetoks
>
> \globalfootlinetoks = \expandafter {\makefootline}
>
> \def \makefootline {\hsize = \globalhsize \the \globalfootlinetoks}
>
>
> \footline = {left\hfil right}
>
