* NEWS: sort no longer compresses temporaries by default.
* bootstrap.conf: Remove findprog.
* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): The default is to not
compress. Don't treat "" specially.
* src/sort.c: Don't include findprog.h.
(create_temp): Compress only if the user specified --compress-program.
* tests/misc/sort-compress: Adjusts tests to match new behavior.
