Thanks, Paul.  I see it now.

We have reorganized the include files in postgreSQL, so I could not find
it in the expected place, so I assumed there wasn't one.

As you may have read, we are hashing out the best way to overhaul the
code.

Now that I believe the Mariposa code is good, I have one less issue to
deal with.

Open issues are:

    best way to perform sort in memory (leftist sort vs. qsort)
    should we only carry data in sort that is related to sort keys?
    only create tape files when sort exceeds memory size
