The admfiles-routine also adds CSWpkgutil.gspec, which sets package  
name etc.
I would recommend just adding the files you need directly without the  
call, e.g.
   DISTFILES = CSWpkgutil.postinstall CSWpkgutil.preremove etc.
(for Darin, Peter: you have probably a special case here)

Or even easier you just say
   PRESERVECONF = /etc/opt/csw/myapp.conf
GAR is smart enough to automatically append .CSW, set the class, add the
cswclassutils dependency etc. This is documented here:
