Ah.
Um.

Okay. There's a relatively new linux distribution out called
gentoo. Gentoo forgoes the standard linux/sun style package management
for a ports derivative called portage. Portage is something like &bsd
ports onf steroids, capable of handling multiple versions of libs and
apps cleanly allowing per-app compiler tuning.

Portage trees for solaris would be a wonderful thing, I think. Bu tit
would take a reasonable amount of time and rather a lot of bandwidth to
do this in any decent manner.
