While preparing the first SPARC ISO and repository for OI, I found
three packages that were required by other OI packages, but were not
included in the OI source distribution.  These were:

    developer/macro/cpp
    system/library/c++/sunpro
    system/library/iconv/utf-8

The first two are mentioned in the list you provided.  All of them
were present on recent installations of OI.  The first is the Solaris
cpp command, installing into usr/ccs .  The second is the runtime
library for executables built with the Sunpro c++ compiler.  The last
is called ``Iconv modules for UTF-8 Locale'', installing into
usr/lib/iconv .  I decided to repackage them from the legacy
repository and republish them with the original package names.

If these are not required to build any of the current OI distribution,
you can certainly mark them obsolete.
