[PATCH] Templates sorting utility

[fcxSanya]

Currently second-level elements (which represent components) in simulation templates ordered chaotically, and this is better to have any order than don't have order at all, so I proposed to use the alphabetical order.

Attached patch add to svn small utility, which consists from shell script and xsl template.

Thanks, the disorder of these tags has bothered me for a while. Looks like the sorter works well. One question though, could it be made case insensitive? Like with "template_structure.xml" I think <BuildingAI> should come before <BuildRestrictions>.

Thanks for note, I added function to translate lower-case letters to upper-case when sorting, so now it should be case insensitive. (I checked out only source/tools directory, so created new patch from it; it should be applied from it too as far as I understand)

After checking templates I found that xsltproc remove encoding attribute from xml header when encoding is not specified explicitly in the xslt file, so in new version I added encoding attribute.

I posted warning on forum about upcoming templates changes. I will wait few days and then will commit both utility and updated templates.

In special/formation.xml it removes the commented-out VisualActor; might be nice to add that back in manually afterwards, since it's handy when debugging formation movement.

Fixed.

Now it copy all comments to the start of content of "Entity" element.
