1) Why the `py-' prefix?  This seems to be more of application, not an
extension or library; please see recent thread on cvs-ports@ about why
giving ports proper names is important;

2) What is the reason behind `-devel' suffix?  Is this development
version, or some unstable beta?  But there is no `py-gyp' or `pyg'
ports, so even if it is unstable code, `-devel' suffix makes very
little sense.

I would personally suggest you to readd this as `pyg' unless sufficient
rationale would arise from your answers to the aforementioned questions.

Thanks.
