I put these two in testing/:
   libxml2-2.6.30,REV=2008.07.02-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz
   libxml2-2.6.30,REV=2008.07.02-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz
These packages are build to mimic the existing layout of
the package. However, I would prefer splitting this up
into the share libraries most packages will need, the
developer headers and documentation and the python bindings.
Phil, any advice on how to split these?

If someone is curious: this package was build with the
new GAR multi-ISA-builds and is prepared to produce three
separate packages as outlined above:
   <http://svn.blastwave.org/trac/browser/csw/branches/dam/automatic- 
multiarch-compile/lib/libxml2/Makefile?rev=2150>

Thanks!
