[csw-maintainers] Interaction between PRESERVECONF, USERGROUP and PROTOTYPE_CLASS_foo

Excerpts from Philip Brown's message of Thu Dec 16 18:43:02 -0500 2010:

I just took a quick peek at the GAR code and I _think_ this could be
resolved simply by swapping the order that the potential classes are
processed in.  Right now the ordering is:

_CSWCLASSES  = cswmigrateconf cswcpsampleconf cswpreserveconf
_CSWCLASSES += cswetcservices
_CSWCLASSES += cswusergroup ugfiles
_CSWCLASSES += cswcrontab
_CSWCLASSES += cswpycompile
_CSWCLASSES += cswinetd
_CSWCLASSES += cswinitsmf
_CSWCLASSES += cswtexinfo
_CSWCLASSES += cswpostmsg

If we move cswusergroup and ugfiles higher in the list, that should
allow what is required.  I'll take a closer look tonight after running
a pile of last minute seasonal errands.

Thanks
