* Sorts property list and print out each key=value pair prepended with

* indentation.
*
* The output string shows up in two styles, style 1 looks like
* { key1=value1, key2=value2, key3=value3 }
*
* style 2 looks like
* key1=value1
* key2=value2
* key3=value3
* where indent goes between the new line and the keys
*
* To get style 1, pass in a null indent
* To get sytle 2, pass in non-null indent (whatever you want to go before
* the key value)
