| Sounds fairly straight-forward, except that the input for MASTER_SORT is
| fairly unreadable. Can we make this a simple list of globs:
| 
| 	MASTER_SORT= *.at.netbsd.org *.at *.netbsd.org
| 
| or maybe even skip the "*." part, as that one's pretty obvious?

  Yes and no.

  Yes of course, we can. Do we want to? Not obvious, we made it
match the whole url so you can actually do things like give
preference to http over ftp. But perhaps that is just an
unnecessary gimmick?
