Some might argue about blastwave's lack of separate packages for Sol
8/9/10, but I find that to be a good piece of amunition to point at
vendors who claim "our software is not certified under Solaris 10".

I am using blastwave pkgs on a few machines that needed corner case
stuff that sunfreeware didn't have.  I will probably be switching my
other boxes as I rebuild them.
