[csw-maintainers] build requirements

[Ben Walton]

Hi All,

I now have a gar description for git that builds it but am seeing
tests fail.  So far, all failures are related to an implicit
assumption that sed == gnu sed.  Modifying the test files to call gsed
seems to get things going.  So, I have a few options:

1. Create a patch per 'bad' assumption (where bad == 'bad for me
   because it makes more work')
2. Add some autoconf magic, and alter the test harness to include the
   file generated by configure, thus allowing for a user specifiable
   $(sed) program.  Submit this upstream.
3. Use PREREQUISITE_PKGS += CSWgnulinks and prepend /opt/csw/gnu to
   the GARPATH.

I have my own opinion on which is the best going forward, but am
curious as to what others think?

Thoughts?

Thanks
-Ben
