Are we now supporting OpenSolaris officially?  IMO, OpenSolaris (or
whatever it in the new Oracle world order) is a 'best effort' entity.
Solaris 9 and 10 are the supported platforms, so lets make good there
and if it also works on OpenSolaris, great.

If and/or when we start creating IPS packages for OpenSolaris
officially, we can re-examine the issue.  In the meantime, if it
breaks on OpenSolairs...

Thanks
