Ah! It's mailer - /etc/mail/mailer.conf . I almost would like this to
be more generic.

But sure, you could just come up with a config file method that
regenerates a bunch of symlinks in /usr and such. It doesn't have to
go through /etc/.

Anyway, it's just an idea. It'd be nice to have bsdsort in the default
build, called 'bsdsort'.
