You're right, I was unnecessarily bitter, sorry about that.

If we made a package with gar, it would make sense to include
Sebastian's wrapper, and put it into /opt/csw/bin.  This way, setup
would be simplified: install the mgar package (or a csw devel
metapackage), do 'mgar init', then cd into a directory with your
package, and finally do 'mgar package'.
