PCP on Solaris is alive!

[Ken McDonell <kenmcd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From IRIX to sunnyboy (a Sun system running Solaris 2.8) ...

The infrastructure changes to support a Solaris build will be in the
next "dev" code drop on oss.sgi.com, probably sometime next week.

Thanks to Alan Hoyt at Moser Inc. for the contribution to make this
happen ... Alan, what shape is the Solaris PMDA in?
