    When you do ``ls -1 -U | sort'', you get (unless your gnu sort is
    seriously broken) the EXACT output that you do when you do
    ``ls -1 | sort''

    The ONLY result of putting the -U in is that it breaks
    modules_install on systems that don't have gnu ls.

    If I wanted embrace and extend, I'd be running Microsoft(tm) Windows(tm)
    2000(tm) on my Intel(tm) processors.
