Tim J Robbins whipped up some code which seems to take us to the same level
as GNU sort, as far as we could see.

As present the GNU sort we have doesn't seem to be able to handle multibyte
and/or shift states, does it?  As far as he and I could see it was only
8-bit limited.  And his work gives that to the NetBSD sort as well.
