description:
add distrib/sets/fmt-list to format the file lists consistently

This program is much more complicated than sort-list in the same
directory.  It takes care of aligning the fields of the lines so that
lines from the same directory are aligned to each other.  This reduces
horizontal jumps for the category and flags fields.
