cygutils: replace ascii with ESR's?


ESR maintains a standalone ascii(1) which appears to have more features
than cygutils':

http://catb.org/~esr/ascii/

I have a package already in Ports:

ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/release-2/ascii

(The latest 3.11 release is already in my upload queue.)

Should we replace this?  Patch attached if so.
