Again: fine with me.  This could be done such that the *Find* buffer
is narrowed to the portion containing the output of the shell
command (as in my patch).  Also, as a further option (or default
value of the defcustom) we could provide a function that sorts by
file name (thus providing a real-world example of how this new
defcustom can be used).
