In the first phase, BSD sort will be installed as "bsdsort" and GNU sort 
as "sort" by default and you will have a WITH_BSD_SORT knob, which 
changes to BSD sort installed as "sort" and GNU sort as "gnusort". In 
second phase, this will be the default option and you will be able to 
set WITHOUT_BSD_SORT to restore GNU sort as default and in third phase 
GNU sort will go away and there will be no knob. This is the currently 
planned migration scenario.
