for the exact reason that was brought up: it's "different" :-) and
reasonable, sane things that work on normal solaris, dont work on
opensolaris.
It is also quite likely, that you will end up doing things that work
on opensolaris, that do NOT work on normal solaris.

So, best not to do it.

Please set up a zone on your own machines, or if not, use our opencsw
build/test machines. that's what they are here for, after all.
