 > We could go crazy and make a separate subport for each program that
 moreutils installs

 I think that's overkill. I'm not aware of any name clashes with the other
 moreutils utilities.

 I've attached patch "0001-moreutils-New-parallel-variant.patch", which
 adds a "parallel" variant to the moreutils port.

 "moreutils +parallel" won't install if you already have installed the
 "parallel" port. However, I couldn't find a way to tell the "parallel"
 port that it conflicts if you already have installed the "moreutils
 +parallel" variant. I don't think this is currently supported by
 macports, and it is beyond the scope of this patch.

 I've chosen to *not* make "+parallel" the default, because GNU parallel
 is more featureful and more like xargs. This follows the example of
 Fedora, whose moreutils package doesn't contain "parallel" at all.
