sysidtool (where this lives) is not part of illumos-gate. Its a part of
OpenIndiana. I'm having trouble locating the sources they used for this.
I'm not entirely certain the source for it *is* open. Evidently it was
part of the installer and was never opened up. I'm a little dismayed
about this -- I never realized this to be the case, although admittedly
there are distributions which make no use of sysidtool at all.
