With this change setting OE_TERMINAL = "tmux-new-window" in your
configuration will always launch a new terminal. I just left splitting
as the default because it's the current behaviour; I've been using
only new windows for over a year personally.

I don't really see a reason for keeping the splitting behaviour, but I
imagine that others might not like it magically changing on them.
