feedjack_update.py fails when feed contains long tag names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Steps to reproduce:
1. add a feed that contains articles with tags longer than 50 characters (eg. 
http://www.digital-copyright.ca/node/feed )
2. run feedjack_update.py

Script fails with multiple python tracebacks, the important part being:

I'd also like to add that the url fields are 200 chars by default and that's 
also too
short for some feeds with long blog-titles in the URLs.
I've fixed it just by raising max_length limits, patch attached.
