[slime-devel] Sorting contributors by last name

[Michael Weber]

Hi,

attached is a small patch which sorts the Contributors section in the
slime docs by last name.  Of course it is a heuristic (uses last
_word_ as main sorting key), but it works for non-funky cases. (Patch
is attached.)

On request I can get rid of the AWK dependency (from
texinfo-tabulate.awk), but my replacement sed expression does not
exactly make the whole thing look prettier (though it is rather
short), so I'd leave it for now.

I resisted trying to do the sorting with sed, so perhaps there is
still hope for me... :)


Cheers,
Michael
