SchilliX would need separate and slightly different packages but they could be 
compiled from the same set of sources.

The packages should be as compatible as possible to the previous Sun packages.

This means that we need to install the binaries relatively to / /usr or /usr/sfw
and that there is a need to have ELF version information in libraries that are 
compatiblle to the Sun version data.

The related information can be either obtained from the mapfiles from the sfw 
source consolidation or from readin the libraries itself.
