	I don't think it'd be acceptable to have a splitter that lost the
auxtype of a file, especially given that Executioner preserves it... Why don't
you just have the first segment of the file hold the original auxtype? That
way, your re-segmenter could just suffix all segments past the first to the
first segment. Also, the splitter could just duplicate the auxtype for the
first segment, and ignore the rest. Make sense?
