I agree; it's just that we still can't promise anything. Anyway, build
performance should not suffer too much from this patch since the sort's
are added only in places where we fork much already, so that isn't a big
problem either.
Now that the locale normalization patch is in place, I've committed this
patch now, and added Chris to THANKS.
