#28 balanced_file_writer doesn\'t respect requested number of buc

[Kirill Lapshin]

Suppose you have 24 class_creators and trying to split them into 10 buckets. What it currently does is:
- how many creators per bucket? 24/10 = 2. uhm, ok.
- split_sequence of 24 creators by 2, this returns 12 buckets
- is actual number of buckets greater than requested? yes 12>10. Ok lets peel of last bucket and merge it into one before last.

Now we've got 11 buckets, and we happily write 11 files... but user asked for 10.

Here is a patch to fix it, it simply distributes class creators over buckets in round robin.

Any chance to get it applied?
