Sort files or its standard input using the bogo-sort algorithm
described in the Jargon File <http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/>.

A quote from the Jargon File 'bogo-sort' entry:

     ...The archetypical perversely awful algorithm (as opposed to
     _bubble sort_, which is merely the generic bad algorithm).
     _Bogo-sort_ is equivalent to repeatedly throwing a deck of cards
     in the air, picking them up at random, and then testing whether
     they are in order. It serves as a sort of canonical example of
     awfulness. Looking at a program and seeing a dumb algorithm, one
     might say "Oh, I see, this program uses _bogo-sort_." Esp.
     appropriate for algorithms with factorial or super-exponential
     running time in the average case and probabilistically infinite
     worst-case running time. Compare _bogus_, _brute force_,
     _lasherism_...

A long-overdue dequoting of COMMENT.  D'oh, I thought I'd done this,
like, MONTHS ago!

A whole lotta fixes:
- fix build with gcc-3.4;
- fix sortedp.c and zbogotest to handle empty files properly;
- add a 'test' target;
- use INFO and PLIST_FILES and nuke pkg-plist.

And yes, I know that adding HAVE_STRING_H to config.h.in is somewhat
hackish; the proper fix - a string.h check in configure.in - is on its
way to the bogosort developers :)

SIZEify (maintainer timeout)

Update to 0.4.2.

track ESR's page.

www.tuxedo.org -> www.catb.org

Remove pkg-comment files in my ports.

Update to bogosort-0.4.1; Ulrik accepted my files/patch-bogosort.c fix,
thus rendering this patch superfluous.

Update to bogosort-0.4.0, which includes fixes to the error handling and
printing routines, the problem originally found by Kris Kennaway.
Unfortunately, the bogosort author did not quite apply the patch I sent,
hence the need for the new files/patch-bogosort.c.

Don't guess declarations for things in system headers.

Update to 0.3.3.   Remove the texinfo documentation patch - the author included 
 it in the official distribution.    

Update to 0.3.2.  Although 0.3.2 contains part of my texinfo fixes,   there's
still something to be desired - the author needs to re-read   texinfo docs, and
note that menu entries start with a '*' character :)    

update my email address - roam@orbitel.bg -> roam@FreeBSD.org    

Convert category misc to new layout.  

Add bogosort 0.3.1, a program that sorts files (or stdin) using the   bogo-sort
algorithm described in the Jargon File.
