sort: Compress temporary files when doing large external sort/merges.
This improves performance when you can compress/uncompress faster than
you can read/write, which is common in these days of fast CPUs.

+sort: Add an ordering option -R that causes 'sort' to sort according
+ to a random permutation of the correct sort order. Also, add an
+ option --random-seed=SEED that causes 'sort' to use an arbitrary
+ string SEED to select which permutations to use, in a deterministic
+ manner: that is, if you sort a permutation of the same input file
+ with the same --random-seed=SEED option twice, you'll get the same
+ output. The default SEED is chosen at random, and contains enough
+ information to ensure that the output permutation is random.
