Matt's idea of putting SORT= ... at the beginning of a shell script is
excellent. May I further that to makefiles. If I want to use a test
utility, and that includes ANY program used in the makefile, I have
to rewrite tha makefile (and usually take a couple of times to undo
the quirks. If I forget other types of files related to shell and make
files, I mean for these enchancements to go into them also. An idea
whose time is come.
