A multi-platform file tailer that uses colors to differentiate different files. Multitail defaults to following files.
####Actually works now. It needs to put in a newline when it context switches between threads, but otherwise it works correctly.
Usage: mtail FILE [FILE]*
In the future:
mtail # invoked with no arguments, will read arguments from './mtail.toml'
mtail [OPTIONS] FILE BACKGROUND_COLOR:FOREGROUND_COLOR:[ATTRIBUTE] [FILE BACKGROUND_COLOR:FOREGROUND_COLOR:[ATTRIBUTE]]*
-h, --help : Print out this help
-n size, --names=size : Show the filename truncated to 'size' on the left of each line in reversed colors
-c file, --config=file : Get all command line args from 'file'
