Re: new coreutil? shuffle - randomize file contents

[Frederik Eaton]

Here is a preliminary patch for basic shuffling functionality in
'sort', with same-keys-sort-together behavior. It adds two options:
"-R" to compare based on a hash of key, and "--seed" to specify salt
for the hash. If "--seed" is not given then the default is to read
from /dev/random or /dev/urandom.

I still need to add support to configure.ac for some of the random
device macros.

Feedback?

Frederik
