Hi all, hope everyone had happy holidays.

Here's the patch in its entirety. Let me know if anything's not
satisfactory.

I should note that I went easy on the tests because the other
split tests didn't seem all too comprehensive themselves. Please
let me knowif I need to be more exhaustive.

Subject: [PATCH] split: divide file into equal sized chunks; add -r and -t 
options.

Extend --bytes and --lines to divide file into N equal pieces, or
extract Kth of N said pieces. Add -n/--number alias for BSD
compatibility.

Add -r/--round-robin option to allow division and extraction of
chunks in round robin fashion, in support of nonseekable files.

Add -t/--term option to allow user to choose delineation character;
supports parsing C escape sequences such as \n or \xdd.

* doc/coreutils.texi: update documentation of split.
* src/split.c: (eol): new global variable.
(usage, long_options, main): new options -n/--number, -r, and -t.
(bytes_split): add max_files argument. This allows for trivial
implementaton for byte chunking, similar to BSD.
(lines_split, line_bytes_split): delineate line by global eol char
instead of '\n'.
(lines_chunk_split): new function. Split file into eol delineated
chunks.
(bytes_chunk_extract): new function. Extract a chunk of file.
(lines_chunk_extract): new function. Extract a eol delineated chunk
of file.
(of_info): new struct. Used by new functions lines_rr and ofd_check
to keep track of file descriptors associated with output files.
(ofd_check): new function. Shuffle file descriptors in case output
files out number available file descriptors.
(lines_rr): new function. Split file into chunks in round-robin
fashion.
(lines_rr_extract): new function. Extract a chunk of file, as if
chunks were created in round-robin fashion.
(chunk_parse): new function. Parses /N and K/N syntax.
(eol_parse): new function. Parses -t option argument.
* tests/Makefile.am: add new tests.
* misc/split-bchunk: new test for byte delineated chunking.
* misc/split-fail: add failure scenarios for new options.
* misc/split-l: change typo ln --version to split --version.
* misc/split-lchunk: new test for line delineated chunking.
* misc/split-rchunk: new test for round-robin chunking.
* misc/split-t: new test for user defined eol char.
