 if the port doesn't itself care about the version of a dependent
 software, then why should i?
 
 "--lowercase" option need to be taken care of in a more general way.
 there may be other instances when file names might need to be
 converted to lower case.  "sed" or "tr" w/ "mv" are more than able
 to take care of that.  and "--quiet" option, well, that's why we
 have "/dev/null".
 
 it's too expensive to ask for port upgrade just for only those two
 options.  unless i am missing something else, otherwise, cabextract
 0.2 is just as fine do everything that's needed by webfonts.
