#34477: cloog depends on isl but cloog and isl conflict

Comment(by ryandesign@…):
Forcing the activation doesn't ''fix'' anything, it just overwrites one
port's files with another's, which is seldom a good thing to do.
To be clear: my currently-installed cloog @0.16.3_1+universal is not being
shown as outdated. If the intention is that cloog should depend on and use
the isl port's files, then that is not currently happening, and a fix in
the cloog port is needed.
Yes, you can automate the unusual occurrence where files that were
provided by a previous version of a port are now provided by a dependency.
If there were a new revision/version of cloog that used isl's files and
did not itself install the isl files, then the isl port would need to be
modified to deactivate the existing cloog port to allow the upgrade to
occur smoothly. We call this the "deactivate hack" and it's been used in
several ports before. See the pre-activate block in the simutrans-pak64
subport of the simutrans Portfile for an example.
