Oh, lovely.
Are there any viable alternatives to using GNU sort? If their release
does not (for our purposes) include documentation, the human-time cost
of using their sort just took a big jump.
Do we depend on any GNUisms? I'm wondering, if I go looking for a
sort, what spec I should be matching against.
