Is it best too add these as dependacies in the Makefile and install them when the port is installed, or put a description in pkg-descr or pkg-message making people aware of there use? I'm thinking it would be best too just have a message about them instead of installing them with the port, considering there 8 different archivers that it can use, and i figure not everyone will have use for all 8 of them, leaving them too install the one's they prefer.
