Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 And we want deterministic repeatable builds. Imagine this scenario:

  * on 20141015 we update faust2-devel to version 20141015
  * on 20141016 we update faustlive-devel to version 20141016 which is
 compatible with faust2-devel 20141015
  * on 20141017 user X installs faustlive-devel 20141016 and gets a working
 port
  * on 20141018 we update faust2-devel to version 20141018 which is not
 compatible with faust2-devel 20141016 anymore
  * on 20141019 user Y installs faustlive-devel 20141016 and gets a non-
 working port; user X's installation still works fine

 We don't want two different users installing the same version of a package
 to have different results, which is why embedding another port's files is
 usually undesirable and why I would use a symlink instead.
