Multithreaded sorting

Is there a multi-threaded version of the standard sort command? I am looking for something that will take as input the maximum number of threads to use, possibly a given amount of RAM, as well as standard sort parameters and just run.

The sort command was parallelized in coreutils-8.6 , which was released on 2010-10-15. Here's the commit where it was added:

However, I am running Ubuntu 11.10, which is still on coreutils-8.5 . I do not know when a new sort breaks into most distributions.
