--script=CMD parameter for split

[Hans Freitag]

Hi, 

I think a --script=CMD parameter on split could be usefull when doing
backups on CD. 

I added a patch I'm using it together with tar:

tar cvfz - something | split -b 640000000 -s ./burn.sh

I couldn't use tar because -M option will not work with gzip
and -M is needing a device or filesystem to fill.

A patch implementing -s and --script is attached on this E-Mail.

best regards
        Hans
