This is a followup to
   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2011-04/msg00014.html,
in which Jon suggested splitting site selection into two pages, one
for cygwin.com mirrors and one for additional user URLs.  The latter
would be visible only if the user had previously checked a suitable
checkbox.  This patch series implements that suggestion.
The page for mirrors shows the area and location of each mirror, as
suggested by Brian Inglis, but it still uses truncated URLs as before.
[Brian, see the last patch, which is in your name.  Feel free to
improve it.]
Brian Inglis (1):
   Display area and location of mirrors, and add these to the sort key

I had added Last mirror and User added descriptive prefixes to the displayed
URLs, and uniqueness checks, as you suggested and we discussed, but then saw
your patches, and have been holding off until those land.

Should I still look at adding those prefixes once I can pull the updated sources?

I suggest that we wait and see what happens with my patches. Then we can discuss what further improvements can be made.
