[Konsole-devel] Implementing a different kind of split (multi terminal)

[Vincenzo Pii]

Hi,

The review has been published and it is available here:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/115275/.

Please keep in mind that the work is still in progress: there are TODOs,
debug code, garbage, hacks, ... So, do not waste too much time on the tiny
particulars for the moment :D!

General comments, suggestion for improvements, etc. are highly appreciated.
