"Board manager"

Problem Description

I have found it hard to always scan the list of boards in the board manager for the board I'm currently working with since they are not in alphabetical order.

So I split the "Arduino/tools/boards.txt.py" into one file per board and then the start and end info into separate files.

boards.zip contains all the "one file per board".
boards.zip

build.txt ->build.bat builds a new version of boards.txt.py with the boards in alphabetical order.
build.txt

I would appreciate if the boards could be presented in an alphabetical order highly.
