 Right. So if the revision you're proposing to build with this port was
 modified on 2014-10-22, shouldn't the port's advertised version be
 20141022, not 20101217?

 Right. So if autoconf is used for building, shouldn't it be in
 depends_build, not depends_lib?

 > > There's a comment in the portfile that reads "`Keep the CSL version of
 Reduce and PSL in sync.`" I'm not sure what's meant by this—what specific
 action one is supposed to take—since, as far as I can see, there is to be
 only this one single reduce portfile, and it only has a single version
 line and a single svn.revision line.

 > That just means I'm building both flavors of reduce from the same svn
 version. It can be removed if you feel it's not necessary.

 Do you feel it's necessary? What action is this comment reminding you to
 perform? If none, then I would suggest removing the comment.
