OpenCSW is a community effort (CSW == Community SoftWare) to build a
repository of GNU/Linux userland binaries for Solaris.  It makes
package management as simple as on GNU/Linux, e.g.: "pkgutil --install
wget gcc4core libsqlite3_dev" which would otherwise be a very long and
laborious exercise.  It is very well maintained and I consider it a
must for any Solaris box which isn't tightly locked down.

As said in my other mail the patches are rather trivial but I will
open an issue to discuss there.
