Thinking in terms of simplicity: Wouldn't it also be possible to just wrap
up a package each on build{8,9,10}{s,x} to have a specific package for
each Solaris release, instead of having a potentially complicated GAR
Makefile plus postinstall magic (which might both be subject to errors)?

Just an idea, don't let your progress be slowed down by it if you think
otherwise or if there are reasons against it (no need for discussion from
my side).
