New issue 963 by renxing...@gmail.com: When the output.xml is very  
big,report and log does not create.
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=963

System: Windows XP Service pack2
RobotFramework: 2.6.0
Python: 2.6.6
Jython:2.5.1

I execute testcase over than 10 hour,the output.xml is more than  
250M.Because the output.xml is too big,RF crashes and does not create  
report and log for MemoryError.I use fixml to fix broken  output files， It  
can not work , rebot can not work too. I am very sad.

So I think splitoutputs is very necessary.

the detail is below:

F:\find>rebot output.xml
[ ERROR ] Opening XML file 'output.xml' failed: SyntaxError: no element  
found: line 4901376, column 0

Try --help for usage information.

F:\find>fixml.py output.xml newoutput.xml
