wanted to potentially clear an ambiguity here:

first of all, I'm curious what you meant by "list". were you speaking
webpage, or actual depend file?

secondly... if we have a dependancy on a semi-'rare' sun package... we
can and SHOULD put in SUNW packages as a dependancy.
We dont usually bother having SUNWxxx in depend, because they are
probably installed anyway.
