findutils 4.4.2 is now being packaged under GAR, instead of manually as 
it was before.

http://mirror.opencsw.org/experimental.html#gmarler  <http://mirror.opencsw.org/experimental.html#skayser>
pkgutil -thttp://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/gmarler  <http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/skayser>  -i findutils


At present, testing is disabled, since 12 tests in the findutils suite, 
and it appears that they were never successful in the manually built 
package either.

The failed tests are explicitly documented in the Makefile, if they are 
deemed important enough to fix.  At least 4 of them appear to be simple 
permissioning errors in the testing area setup by findutils own 
scripts.  The remaining failures have to do with the iregex routines 
pulled in from the built-in regex library apparently extracted from some 
release of GNU libc.

The following minor changes were made:
- Binaries are still 32-bit, but generated for extra ISAs 
sparcv8plus+vis and pentium_pro
- Testing is currently disabled, but majority of tests pass

Any testing would be appreciated.

Gordon
