The port is an absolute mess. Not the least of its problems is the
fact that it's a perl script that doesn't depend on perl. newgetopt.pl
hasn't been distributed with perl for more than 7 years. It also uses
find.pl which also hasn't been included in many years. Upstream for it
has disappeared, and it should really just be removed.
