There are three ports for MeCab (mecab, mecab-utf8, mecab-sjis), each
of which utilizes a different character encoding dictionary and
conflicts with one another. Ports for scripting languages with MeCab
are applicable to any type of encoding mecab port. I would like to
specify a dependency on at least one of the mecab ports, that is
"depends_lib (port:mecab OR port:mecab-utf8 OR port:mecab-sjis)".
However, bin:-style dependencies are used instead of disjunctive
port:-style.
