/etc/init.d/foo is so '70s, cool kids these days use "other stuff" to
start their services: Services Management Framework.

Simpliest - I've had it installed. Second simple - after installing
SunStudioExpress configure does not think it can compile libgen.h and
other headers, then gmake adding its own stuff to compiler flags like
-Wall. Finally, it's likely that I'll need to link pcp libraries with
Solaris binaries compiled with gcc - all that kind of suggests that I
may want to start with gcc.

Old SVR4 style seems to be very much like Irix: a manifest, pkginfo to
supply version and package name and you get the package. I'm not yet
comfortable enough with new IPS packaging to comment.

NFI.

like each other: different name mangling, different STL

compatible between gcc and SunStudio.

I'll see if I can convince configure what new compiler can grok
libgen...
