Comments/patches are welcome. As the "History" suggestion of the manual page suggests, my plan is to get this in to FreeBSD 6, along with replacements for some other GNU tools.
Might we put this in freebsd-current (5.x), but under some other name? sortbsd, or something?
Why would you want to do that? Unless the performance difference is huge, I don't see the problem.
Since the number of people that really that extra 10% (or whatever) of speed (for sort) is small, I would suggest the reverse. Replace the current sort with the BSD licensed version, and move the current one to a port "gnu-sort", or whatever.
I suddenly feel the need to go build a bikeshed.
