You don't have to know awk to use MASTER_SORT, it's actually very
simple. This is from my make.conf:
MASTER_SORT?= .dk sunet.se .se dk.php.net .no .de mirrorservice.org \
.uk .at heanet.dl.sourceforge.net .nl
And yes, this know is very underdocumented and somebody(tm) should do
something about that. AFAIR I found out how to use it by reading some
NetBSD docs and the bsd.port.mk implementation.
