How about this: |
| 14 |
- Possible split points are only at the end of years. |
| 15 |
- Start at the end of the file and go backwards. |
| 16 |
- Split it whenever the piece after the split point is larger than $size. |
| 17 |
- Stop if the next split point is less than $delay ago. |
| 18 |

| 19 |
Reasonable values are 50 or 100 KiB for $size and 1 year for $delay, |
| 20 |
IMHO. |
