Snipped the rest because I think this could have all been avoided by
bumping PORTREVISION when the dependency to p5-Text-ParseWords was
added.  Ideally the dependency information should have been recorded
with the update to 0.22 (like is in ports/120802).  I'm CC'ing leeym@
who made the last commit.

I'll leave the rest up to Doug.  :)
