Well, I wasn't advocating a dependency :)  I was saying 'remove
the two lines in the makefile that cause this port not to install
the "dict" binary and manpage, and then add it to the plist' :)
I guess that it could be argued that it is technically more correct
to have two ports, but frankly the client is tiny, and a second
port seems like overkill in this case.
