Given the time that has been spent working around
the braindamaged behavior of qsort() on various platforms, I would be
more inclined to *always* use our qsort() instead of the platform's
version.

I propose that we do the following:
1. Switch to using port/qsort.c all the time.
1.5 Move it to another directory - e.g. backend/utils/sort?
2. Add a "qsort_arg" function that is identical to qsort except it also
passes a void pointer through to the comparison function. This will
allow us to get rid of the non-reentrant static variable and extra
level of function call in tuplesort.c.
3. Insert a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call as was requested back in July.
With glibc out of the way, there's no longer a reason to fear memory
leakage from cancelling a sort.
4. replace KR function definition by the ANSI style :-)
