Update to 20110317. This rolls up the patch committed previously
and addresses a (now-fixed) problem when bsd.sites.mk was using Ftp://
instead of ftp://. [1]

Submitted by:   [1]: Gerard Seibert (private mail)

Update to 20081104.  It incorporates the local patch put in place a while
ago.

Add a patch to workaround a bug noticed by Doug Barton.
The new code will silently ignore MASTER_SITE_GOOGLE_CODE and
MASTER_SITE_DEBIAN_POOL unless specifically asked to sort them, in which
case an error message is printed.

Most of the patch came from Ryan Steinmetz <rpsfa@rit.edu> with small
additions by me.

Sort every mirror list in bsd.sites.mk.

Output is suitable for inclusion into make.conf.
