 *  Sorts a sequence of strings from standard input using shellsort.
 *
 *  Uses increment sequence proposed by Sedgewick and Incerpi.
 *  The nth element of the sequence is the smallest integer >= 2.5^n
 *  that is relatively prime to all previous terms in the sequence.
 *  For example, incs[4] is 41 because 2.5^4 = 39.0625 and 41 is
 *  the next integer that is relatively prime to 3, 7, and 16.
