Ah, indeed. Somehow I understood that you could use two files only
with -m.

They used to at some point as as the content comes from the earlier 
"sort -u".  I had test samples but I can't find them anymore.

Anyway I prefer not to rely on a pre-existing ordering if possible, and 
with the addition of the file header and the CONFIG_MODVERSIONS case 
that came afterwards the content is no longer 100% sorted.  With "sort 
file1 file2" the comment is not very relevant anymore.
