I know that the xterm package was never intended to run on OpenSolaris
but here is the data just in case we can fix it up or recompile for
OpenSolaris

Note the annoying libXt.so.4 lib there that is found in
/usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4

My attempt to run xterm and diplay remotely results in

$ ld.so.1: xterm86: fatal: libXaw.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory

I'll hook up an OpenSolaris based build box .. shortly. I already have
it in the rack but I can not netboot the os200805 release.
