One-by-one unfortunately

They should be alphanumeric

guix refresh should  handle them. But currently it should do thing 
recursively so keep that in mind.

I have a small tool I have been working will make the new packages 
easier to commit.... its very much WIP but if I would appreciate any 
feedback. Attached is sort2.scm and merge.scm

sort2.scm will sort a files exported packages alphanumerically.
merge.scm will merge exported packages of two files into a single file 
creating a git commit for every new or updated package.

Here is my work flow,
1) Import the package using `guix import crate -r mypackage > mypackage.scm`

2) Sort the packages, `guile -s ./sort2.scm mypackage.scm > 
mypackage.scm` (you will probably also want to sort crates-io.scm, i 
think some packages may be out-of-order now)

3) merge mypackages.scm and crates-io.scm `guile -s ./merge.scm 
./mypackage.scm ./crates-io.scm`

4) check that the git log looks correct and that everything still runs! :D
