I personally don't have a problem with this; tsort should be a library routine referenced by both tsort(1) and rcorder(8), of course, but the way tsort(1) works, there is really no easy way to use it to do the job in any reasonable amount of time. As far as wheel reinvention goes, we should add gcc, ld, and make to the list of programs reinventing the tsort wheel... kinda calls out for a library routine; wait, I already said that once... 8-).
