 > There is no good reason, other than most CLI apps just use all lowercase
 letters for their name.

 Right, but this CLI app already uses mixed case for its command name and
 manpage. Even for ports that don't, we sometimes use the project's
 preferred capitalization for the port name (like ImageMagick and
 GraphicsMagick).

 > P.S.  I am not sure if you also need to do anything to the man page.
 Right now, you must use all lowercase letters (m2vrequantiser) to bring
 the man page up.  You may need to change the file name for the man page.

 Yes what caused me to ask was when I noticed this error in the Portfile:
 the manpage name is M2VRequantiser.1 but you refer to it in the Portfile
 by ${name} when you install it. On a case-insensitive filesystem, that'll
 work and end up installing it as m2vrequantiser.1. On a case-sensitive
 filesystem like on our buildbot workers, that'll fail, saying
 m2vrequantiser.1 doesn't exist.
