I think it is useful to be able to split two (or more) files simultaneously, but as part of the same job - same mapid, description, etc. Not only contour lines, but grid lines or latitude/longitude.

Hi all,

while documenting the new splitter parms I wondered if
anybody needs to be able to split two or more files 
using a command like
java -jar splitter.jar file1.osm file2.osm 

This is not documented but implemented. What's the expected result if the
two files overlap
or if the two files cover two area that are far away from each other?
I remember seeing this used with contour lines. 
Is  that still needed? Did anybody test that with --keep-complete?

Also, why is it needed to be able to read from stdin? 
cat file.osm | java -jar splitter.jar --split-file=areas.list

Would it be okay to drop these two undocumented features?
