 this?

 There are a lot of ports in the submission queue. If you think a ticket
 has been forgotten, ping the mailing list or ask someone on IRC to take a
 look.

 Feedback on this port:
  * Normally a port should be the latest stable release. A
 development/unstable/prerelease version would be called libv8-devel.
  * 0.4.0-devel is not a good version string to use, as it will presumably
 not change when you switch to a newer svn revision that is still prior to
 the stable 0.4.0 release. You might like to put the svn revision on the
 end of the version instead.
  * If scons is only needed at build time, it should be a depends_build
 rather than a depends_lib.
  * A variant is not the right way to choose the architecture to build for.
 Instead you should look at the value of the build_arch option.
  * It would be nicer to override the destroot phase entirely instead of
 clearing all the args and using a really long destroot.cmd.
  * You should do 'use_configure no' rather than 'configure {}', as the
 former will correctly disable the default universal variant.
  * Why do you need to set a blank test phase?
