This one gets my vote.  The .pro files aren't primarily meant to be nice;
I made it collect all the locals together to make it as close as possible
to how a human would lay it out, but if that's causing problems it can
be sacrificed.

Or there's another possibility: run makepro.awk over the file twice,
once generating local definitions and once externals, and glue the two
together.  You'd get the current form of .pro files, without requiring
awk to handle lengthy strings, at the cost of doubling generation time.
