[bug #65438] Sort print-targets output.

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #65438 (group make):

Regarding the hashing vs. endianness, I don't know.  The hash.{c,h}
implementation we have was taken, basically verbatim, from the GNU idutils
program.

Regarding sorting, doesn't this basically mean just using strcmp (or a small
wrapper around it) as the sorting function?

For justification I don't know that we really need one; if it's useful to us
to sort, we should sort even if users won't find it useful.  Someone looking
at the output by hand may find it useful although it seems just as likely they
will run the output through sort themselves if they want it sorted.

It's too bad we don't have a simple way to sort the output in the test
framework.  It will be annoying if we choose "good" filenames and the test
passes, but then we switch our hashing around and it breaks again.
