Facing "Argument list too long error" for argument list #1003

First of all, the parallel_rspec is awesome gem!

I have a case when I have to run parallel_rspec with a long list of file names however due to the system limitation it is running into the Argument list too long error. I can try to increase the system configuration for it but I am afraid it cannot be long term solution if more files are added. I have limitation on the number of cores I can use so splitting into more groups will not work either. The number of files, per say, is not large but their path length can take up the majority of the limitation.

I am wondering if it is possible to support an option to pass a list of file paths to stdin of the command or some other way like for example as a master file which lists all spec file paths to run?

Thanks!
