How to make multi-page table with text wrap and auto-width?

Question

So, as far as I understand, I can use the tabularx package to make auto-width tables with text wrap.

Also, there is supertabular which allows me to make tables span across pages.

How do I make a table that:

Occupies the whole page horizontally.
Spans across multiple pages preserving its header.
Automatically selects certain column widths. tabularx's X-style.
Wraps text in the columns.

?

THe ltablex package does that: you typeset a tabularx environmentas usual, but with \ caption command inside the envvironment, and the possibility to use \endhead, \endfirsthead, endfoot, \endlastfoot as in a longtable environment. You have to compile twice.

Thank you, exactly what is needed. It is much simpler than ltxtable, which requires table to be put in a separate file. – Mikhail Orlov Jun 10 '14 at 08:56
