[PATCH] Specify output directory for split(1)

[Bram Schoenmakers]

Hello,

The attached patch adds -t or --target-directory support for split, specifying 
in which directory the split files should go into.

The usecase for this when receiving a big file over a network, but you don't 
have diskspace for the file itself and its splitted version. Now, you can do 
things like this:

cat some_big_file | ssh address@hidden split -t /home/bram/tmp/

in order to have some_big_file split out immediately.

Kind regards,
