None of these 2 are ready as specs for now. I heard some bad info about
MongoDB vs. Solaris platform but it should not be big problem to compile
it. For hylafax - it builds but it needs some "love" to make it nice in
Solaris environment, e.g. init scripts. If anybody is interested in it
then the fastest way is to produce spec and keep it updated.

Yes, OpenCSW is building own environment, trying to separate itself from
system. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is not.
