Is that really true?  I would have thought that all products would
require SUNWcs, but only ones that included ksh scripts would require
shell/ksh93 .  The problem is that you can't tell which to change from
the REQUIRED_PACKAGES make variable.  Is there not a default for that
variable?  Maybe adding both packages would be a quick fix, although
it's incorrect in many cases.  Is there a way to determine which
products actually require the shell/ksh93 package?
