Making the barf output slightly more useful

  For me the most important thing in debugging FreeS/WAN
configurations is the output in the barf of the KLIPS eroutes.  So I
would like to bitch about two minor annoyances within one section:

  First is that the eroute outputs place near the top of the barf
output has been usurped by "ipsec verify", which annoys me everytime I
need a barf.  It's slow (it does DNS lookups) and I now don't get the
info I need on the first page of the barf.  Anyone doing a barf is
more likely to need the nitty gritty info in the eroute output more
then the verify output.

  Keep both, but give us the critical data early.


  Next I find that the "-n" number sort on the eroute output is too
simple, in that I end up with the first part of the IP octet sorted
but not the others.  Rather then sort's simple numerical sort can you
change the sort command line options so that it is both more generally
numerical and more numerically stable?

  I think thats the best I can do under the current regime...
