Its capabilities will be expanded -- it will be able to re-assemble
and re-split dumps, so the source and destination volume sizes need
not match.  The command will still be separate from the usual amdump
runs, and won't do the usual report-sending or log-rotating.

To put it another way, amvault will benefit from the improvements
being made to how changers, devices and data are handled, but I won't
have a chance to address the higher-level questions of scheduling,
metadata maintenance, tertiary tape cycles, etc.
