Actually, not much like it.  It is like running lots of split vts and then 
running tail and grep in each vt.

multitail is pretty much a single purpose tool.  It runs multiple tails with 
different greps in multiple split windows.  If you want split windows for 
something else, you need splitvt, screen, emacs, or some other solution.
