splitting ASCII output?

[Karl Berry]

Hi Patrice,

I had the idea today that it could be useful for makeinfo to be able to
split ASCII output.  On occasion, people want to distribute plain text
sections from their Texinfo manuals, e.g., README or INSTALL
information.  Not surprisingly, just setting 'split'=>1 in
the plaintext element of %formats_table did not suffice :).  So then I
figured I'd ask.

Wdyt?

Thanks,
Karl
