[csw-maintainers] Dependencies on SUNW packages (was: newpkgs libslp1, openslp_devel)

Ok, but we've now veered into a different discussion.  We were
originally discussing how to handle packages where a (variably named)
SUNW dependency existed.  I think checkinstall is one (not necessarily
the best) way of doing that.

If we want to discuss the best methods for making our packages
OpenSolaris friendly going forward, then that would warrant a new
thread.  If you want to discuss that, please start a new thread.  It's
not of interest to me currently.

Thanks
