Update the sorting mini-howto

Years ago I wrote the Sorting mini-howto, currently at

  http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/sorting/sorting.html

I've had various people thank me for that, in person and
through email.

It's rather out of date now given the decorate-sort-undecorate
option and 'sorted' functions in Python 2.4.  Hmmm, and perhaps
also some mention of rich comparisons.

I don't particularly want to update it myself so I'm tossing it
to the winds.  Anyone here want to take care of it?  I'll
provide feedback if you want it.

Email me if you're interested.
