A reminder: if appropriate, it's better still, to take advantage of
our cswclassutils scripts, to enable SMF support automatically, rather than
use hand-tweaked xml files.

Longer term, it will let us do "Spiffy Things" in an across-the-board
manner.

If there is a specific benefit for hand-crafting xml files, that's
different. But otherwise, please consider the generic approach instead.
