I quickly hacked together the attached script. Run it like

   perl reformat_pinerc.pl < .pinerc | sort > t.t
   perl reformat_pinerc.pl < .pinerc.BACKUP | sort > y.y
   diff t.t y.y

All the script does is canonicalize the .pinerc and ditch empty lines 
and comments. I don't know if the output still is a valid pine 
configuration, though I believe it might be.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

If the only tool you've got is an axe, every problem looks like fun!
