--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
 The wml distribution includes some tools that are installed in
 PREFIX/lib/exec, which are duplicates of other ports. This patch removes
 these tools and replaces them with references to the other ports.

 After all, de-duplication is what packaging systems are all about.
 ------
 However, more importantly, it removes problems with two of these tools:

 eperl:
  is tricky to get to compile and work on MacOS X, see #23803 or  #12582.
 Offloading this to a separate port (eperl, which I've submitted today,
 #26534) makes maintenance easier.

 tidy:
  has seen a lot of updates since its inclusion in the wml distribution.
 The version that comes with wml is very outdated and slightly
 incompatible. If you write Makefiles for Debian's wml (which just depends
 on the new tidy, too), they might be incompatible with MacPort's.


 ----
 Unlike Debian's wml, the following packages are not yet de-duplicated as
 they haven't been packaged for MacPots:

  * iselect
  * mp4h
  * slice
  * linklint
  * freetable
  * weblint
