Oh, I forgot to respond.
This is not really what you are asking for. But when I need this
functionality I do it in the shell. Here is an example. I am not
particular about the exact type of non-ordered output.
seq 1 20 /tmp/datafile
for i in $(datafile); do echo $RANDOM $i; done

Here are some minor fixes to the testsuites. New Makefile.am targets
should be made phony for performance. When parsing file mode attributes,
you need to consider that a file with ACLs set show up with an extra '+'
at the end of the mode string.

After further googling, it looks like there are several systems which have

CSWTCH [1]. The following patch fixes this situation for coreutils. It
also silences some annoyances from cvs

Such a program could do things interesting like :-
1. Permute pseudo-randomly by default.
2. Permute pseudo-randomly according to a seed specified on the
command line
3. Generate the Nth permutation of its input, according to a
reproducible scheme
4. Permute almost pseudo-randomly
