 I propose enhancements of MeCab family in textproc. The current mecab port
 is excellent and very useful, but I think it does not have a few features.

 First, we cannot install other dictionaries than IPA, such as jumandic and
 naist-jdic, with the mecab port. Dictionary ports for mecab exist, but it
 is a little inconvenient for users to modify a configuration file manually
 after installing the ports.

 Second, the encoding of mecab could not be specified by other ports, such
 as cabocha and mecab-java, which require not default EUC-JP but UTF-8
 version of mecab. Although the port has variants to specify its encoding,
 the macports system has no means to specify a port variant in dependency
 unfortunately.

 I propose to split the mecab port into three components: mecab meta
 (mecab, mecab-sjis, mecab-utf8), mecab-base and mecab dictionaries (mecab-
 ipadic*, mecab-jumandic*, mecab-naist-jdic*). Please refer to my user's
 svn:
 http://trac.macports.org/browser/users/hum/textproc

 There are three mecab meta ports according to a variety of encodings, and
 the default mecab port without encoding name is for EUC-JP. Variants for
 encodings are deprecated and If you intend to install UTF-8 version of
 MeCab for example, you should install 'mecab-utf8' instead of 'mecab
 +utf8'. The mecab meta ports set a specific dictionary to the system
 default dictionary path. Although the default dictionary is the IPA
 dictionary, you can specify one of the available dictionaries as a
 variant, for example 'mecab +jumandic' or 'mecab-utf8 +naistjdic'.

 The mecab dictionary ports for EUC-JP are deprecated, and primary
 dictionary ports without encoding name are added for EUC-JP. In addition
 to ipadic and jumandic, naist-jdic port is added.

 In Portiles, indents are modified, descriptions and maintainers are
 slightly changed, licenses are added and checksums are update. livechecks
 are added to mecab-base, mecab-ipadic, mecab-jumandic and mecab-naist-
 jdic. +dartsclone variant is added to mecab-base to use darts-clone
 instead of the standard darts.

 Please check the proposed  ports. Thanks in advance!
