An ANSI C implementation of Shotgun Sort. The general algorithm works as such:

SGSORT(list):
    while list is not sorted:
        randomize list

Note: This should be obvious, but in case it isn't, don't actually use this 
algorithm for real work. It's time complexity is unbounded and it may never 
terminate.

Note 2: I didn't think very hard about the randomize() function, it may 
not produce orderings in a uniformly distributed manner. But really who 
cares, as long as all orderings are possible.
