I don't think that is necessary to have separate packages. In the code
that I cited in my detailed mail, you can add a run-time detection of
the release of Solaris on which it actually runs and act accordingly. I
can provide an easy patch , preferably for 0.18.1. If we validate this,
we can submit the patch upstream.
