Strange. Here, MSYS aliases /usr to /, hence /usr/bin/sort is the same as /bin/sort.

(For the curious ones: The MinGW port has to replace occurrences of 'sort' by '/usr/bin/sort', otherwise Windows's 'sort' would be picked up in shell scripts, because the latter usually comes first in %PATH%^W$PATH. Same for 'find'.)
