Comment:

 Thanks for the update. I had previously tried to update pike to 7.8.352
 and failed for a reason that I now forget. I'll try to combine your update
 with mine.

 The revision line should be removed or set to 0 when the version is
 increased.

 I see you've set configure.cc to gcc-4.2 and configure.cxx to g++-4.2.
 Usually you should set configure.compiler instead, or better yet
 compiler.blacklist. Probably you just want "compiler.blacklist clang", if
 pike cannot be compiled with clang. (Is that something the developers of
 pike are already aware of and working to resolve?)

 I see you've specified "build.jobs 1"; we usually write that as
 "use_parallel_build no".

 I see you've removed the pcre variant and made pcre support always on.
 This is welcome; this port has too many variants and it's good to get rid
 of one.

 In my version I also removed the doc variant and made documentation always
 included.

 I see you've left the nettle dependency in place. Our nettle port is for
 version 2.4 and it was my understanding that pike cannot use nettle 2; the
 FreeBSD project switched their pike port to using the internal copy of
 nettle 1 last year for this reason. See
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/lang/pike78/Makefile#rev1.16

 I also had added some patchfiles; I need to see if those are still
 applicable.
