: to avoid listing all, can try:
: #!/bin/sh
: for i in `echo [0-9] [0-9][0-9] [0-9][0-9][0-9] | sort -n`; do
:    echo $i
: done

That is all globbing stuff.  However, the numbers need to be generated
before the files exist.

The pkg of vim in the past had a stack of patches accumulated into one
tar put onto the NetBSD distrib site.  e.g. patches 1-120 (or what we
wanted from them).  What's been the problem with this?
