Summary:                    Split missing from busybox
Description: 
Coreutils split is currently not included in busybox.
Would it be possible to provide a cutdown applet with the most commonly
used features?

It certainly can be added.
What are the most commonly used features of split?

IMO:
 -b/--bytes=SIZE
 -l/--lines=LINES
Would also be nice if SIZE could have a multiplier suffix(b,k,m,g) as
several scripts floating around use it, but needed scripts could be
modified.

Just curious, has there been any progress with adding this in the past few
months? Havent seen it on SVN, and this would make busybox complete
(atleast for me!)

Patch against 1.4.1 implementing -a, -b, -d, and -l options.  Fancy
configuration supports k, b, m suffixes on sizes.  It's not too pretty,
but it Works For Me(tm).
