mecab-base: mecab is being used by the active mecab port

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Upgrading from mecab 0.98_0 to 0.98_1 is problematic:

$ port outdated mecab
The following installed ports are outdated:
mecab                          0.98_0 < 0.98_1           
$ sudo port -u upgrade mecab

Looks like mecab now depends on mecab, and mecab-base now provides files that used to be provided by mecab. So the mecab-base port should use the "deactivate hack" to deactivate the installed mecab port before activating.

Thank you for your pointing out, and I owe you a lot! I committed in r86233 to add the deactivate hack.

Additionally I modified mecab port to try to install the corresponding port (mecab-sjis, mecab-utf8) to a deprecated variant (+sjis, +utf8) in upgrading, though the process will fail. Committed in r86234.
