This package is a QA nightmare :-( It bundles modified sources of
x11-libs/fox (it does not compile with the system fox). First, it compiles
this bundled fox, and installs it somewhere inside the build tree. Then it
configures csl (and thus finds this freshly installed fox) and compiles
it. Then it compiles reduce with csl. During this process, autoconf is
called from make ("maintainer mode") many times. And each time, the
arguments of the top-level configure are passed to all configure scripts
in subdirectories. --with-gui is needed by one configure script (this is
controlled by the USE flag X; with -X, fox is not built, and csl and
reduce work at the command line only). But this --with-gui is passed to
all configure scripts in various directories (fox sources, for example),
and these scripts don't recognize this option. Ugly, but this works.

Many thanks. Looks OK.
I really want reduce to become more popular. There are only 3 free
computer algebra systems: maxima, reduce, axiom (I don't count toys like
yacas; and axiom has forked into axiom, openaxiom, and fricas). reduce is
mature (from late 60s), powerful and very efficient. So, I have to live
somehow with the weirdness of its current build system.
I suppose I can keyword it ~amd64, so that more users will have a chance
to install it.
