Student contribution

[Desirée Zahradnicek]

Hi, mi name is Desirée Zahradnicek and I'm in the last year of
Information Systems Engineering. As a requirement for subject called
Free Software I have to make a contribution to a free software
project, and I thought about contributing to coreutils.
I have a small but useful idea in mind, I'm thinking about adding an
option to the program "tail" to make it print the last lines of a file
filling the terminal height. I think this could be very useful on its
own and more so in combination with watch. I created a really small
shell script to emulate the functionality:

#!/bin/bash
nlines=$(( $(tput lines) - 2 ))
tail -$nlines $1

I'm writing to ask if you think this could be included so I can start
to work on it.

Thanks in advance,
Desirée Zahradnicek
