2.0.1

> I'd like to commit just the first half of the patch, which introduces the -q flag to reinplace, and release that with 2.0.1 (without the flag (or absence of it) actually doing anything). Then in a later release, we'll add the actual warning message when the flag is not used. The reason is that in some cases the author of a reinplace expects it to not do anything, and this would cause superfluous warnings -- most annoyingly right now, thousands of them (one per file in the distfile) for each kde4 portgroup port, and similarly for documentation files in the mysql5 port. If we commit the flag now without it doing anything, then later when we make the flag do something, we can simultaneously update those few designed-to-not-do-anything reinplaces to use the flag so they don't spew warnings.

Good approach since we're itching to get 2.0.1 out.
