Thanks for working to make the ovs-ofctl formatting better!

I prefer to interpret this script as a kind of "feature request" for
"ovs-ofctl dump-flows".  This command already has some special support,
compared to other ovs-ofctl commands, and it might make sense to
continue adding to it.

ovs-ofctl dump-flows already has one of the features that this script
adds, that is, sorting the flows and removing "OFPST_FLOW" lines.  You
turn this on by using the "--sort" (or "--rsort") option.

The other features that this script provides all seem like ones that
would be useful to add to ovs-ofctl itself.  I'd tend to prefer to
continue enhancing it rather than adding wrapper scripts; I think that
this is likely to yield a more coherent design in the end, and possibly
higher quality.  Is that something you're willing to consider?

Thanks,

Ben.
