When a version number decreases like libvterm's does, the port needs to
set EPOCH so the smaller number is considered newer. Without it package
upgrades won't work either.
(This is why when creating unofficial version numbers from dates, it's
better to use something like 0.0plDATE or 0.0.DATE rather than
using the date as a version number directly.)
