Hi All

fattach_all_zones() function in zoneproxyd.c is using a new call not 
present in the library delivered by illumos.

The initial implementation of fattach_all_zones() in the webrev 
mentioned here is not using this new call:

http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/pkg-discuss/2011-May/026359.html

I took fattach_all_zones() implementation from the webrev and the latest 
pkg5 code compiled OK for me on OI 151 based system.

I have not tested the resulting binaries yet though.

Regards,

Andrzej
