No, VC does not *use* rcs2log AFAIK.  It does provide some way to run it
for you, tho.  But it can also be run separately from Emacs, so the
problem with `sort' should not be fixed in any elisp file, but in rcs2log
(or maybe in rcs2log.bat instead.  That would be even better so that
all this ugly w32 business doesn't stain the rest of the code).
