In fact, qsort in tigcclib is not quicksort but shellsort, picked from
Hisoft C compiler for ZX Spectrum. When I tried to implement real
quicksort,
my testing shows me that there is no noticable difference in speed for 
arrays with 1000 elements between real quicksort and this implementation
of shellsort, but shellsort generates much smaller code. That's why I
decided to implement shellsort in qsort function. You can see the 
implementation in "sources" file.
