/*++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  A function to sort the contents of a file of fixed length objects using a
  limited amount of RAM.

  The data is sorted using a "Merge sort" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort
  and in particular an "external sort" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_sorting.
  The individual sort steps and the merge step both use a "Heap sort"
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heapsort.  The combination of the two should work well
  if the data is already partially sorted.

  index_t filesort_fixed Returns the number of objects kept.

  int fd_in The file descriptor of the input file (opened for reading and at the beginning).

  int fd_out The file descriptor of the output file (opened for writing and empty).

  size_t itemsize The size of each item in the file that needs sorting.

  int (*pre_sort_function)(void *,index_t) If non-NULL then this function is called for
     each item before they have been sorted.  The second parameter is the number of objects
     previously read from the input file.  If the function returns 1 then the object is kept
     and it is sorted, otherwise it is ignored.

  int (*compare_function)(const void*, const void*) The comparison function.  This is identical
     to qsort if the data to be sorted is an array of things not pointers.

  int (*post_sort_function)(void *,index_t) If non-NULL then this function is called for
     each item after they have been sorted.  The second parameter is the number of objects
     already written to the output file.  If the function returns 1 then the object is written
     to the output file., otherwise it is ignored.
