I agree that this would be a more elegant solution. However, it's not
specific to CVS and in fact I use RCS, although it is specific to vc, so I
suggest the variable name should be vc-sort-program. If such a new variable
is going to be introduced to support non-UNIX users then I suggest that the
vc code should also be edited to call sh explicitly to interpret the rcs2log
script (as I suggested before) and my .bat file ignored.
