I'd like to do the following to bsd.pkg.mk:

This would change the list of binary packages in README.html to be sorted
by machine arch, then package version, then os version.

There was some discussion a while back on cleaning up the binary
package list, but it was never finalized.  This approach, while still not
optimal is quick and simple and its really much nicer to have the packages
at least somewhat of a sane order.  I still think we should pursue the
cleaner lists that were proposed a while back, but until then I think this
would help.

Is there any problem anyone sees with committing this?  

Thanks
