Here is a preliminary patch for basic shuffling functionality in
'sort', with same-keys-sort-together behavior. It adds two options:
-R to compare based on a hash of key, and --seed to specify salt
for the hash. If --seed is not given then the default is to read
from /dev/random or /dev/urandom.
The examples in the man page say I can
ln -s a b ..
and get links in ../a and ../b to ./a and ./b
but when I try it I get a link from ../a and ../b to
themselves, which are useless circular links.
I'm using tcsh in linux,
uname -r : 2.4.21-20.EL

First, get a copy of the latest sources from CVS by following
the instructions here:
Apply your changes there, then run e.g.,
and mail the contents of DIFF to the mailing list.
OK. My current version is based upon the 5.2.1 release code. I will
try and port it over to the CVS code.

In other words, an extraneous \ is inserted before the md5 in the
output, due to the fact that there's a backslash (or perhaps a \') in

Yes. Perhaps not the most useful of examples. Suggestions for
documentation improvements are always welcome.
