I would like to force LaTeX to cut long lines and make
automatically a parbox in the last column with the right
length when using the tabular environment. I mean I would
like to obtain :

|<------- \textwidth ------------->|
blabla         a very very very long
               line
anotherblabla  another line


with something like :

\begin{tabular}{ll}
blabla & a very very very long line \\
anotherblabla & another line
\end{tabular}


I tried different variants of this command but never find
the good one. Can someone show me how to make LaTeX do this ?


Thanks,
