Please do - I'd hate to not see those "no-dependency packages" not being 
built at all. :)

At least pkglint needs perl, and that's ran before the actual build, so 
using perl for sorting out the order in which pkgs are built sounds ok to 
me.

Please make sure the right things are really built - your note of not 
printing pkgs without dependencies looks wrong. But I'm not familiar with 
that code, I think Dan McMahill did it.
