 sort: Compress temporary files when doing large external sort/merges.
   This improves performance when you can compress/uncompress faster than
   you can read/write, which is common in these days of fast CPUs.

+sort: Add an ordering option -R that causes 'sort' to sort according
+  to a random permutation of the correct sort order.  Also, add an
+  option --random-seed=SEED that causes 'sort' to use an arbitrary
+  string SEED to select which permutations to use, in a deterministic
+  manner: that is, if you sort a permutation of the same input file
+  with the same --random-seed=SEED option twice, you'll get the same
+  output.  The default SEED is chosen at random, and contains enough
+  information to ensure that the output permutation is random.
