I have to say I don't like solutions that rely on magic characters in the
output file, it's OK for a one-off hack but not for production use.

What is a reasonable alternative, though, is to write a splitting SAX filter
to process the output: most Java processors will write output to a
user-supplied ContentHandler, and you can insert a processing instruction
into the event stream to cause this to switch output to a new destination.
