Thanks.  I'm new to OpenIndiana, so it will take me a while to digest that.

Incidentally the link to sfw Build instructions on
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Legacy+Consolidations , like many links
in the OI wiki and elsewhere simply dumps to a generic Oracle page.
 Closest thing I can find there is a 7-year
old blog https://blogs.oracle.com/jyrivirkki/entry/how_to_contribute_to_sfw
which gives a link in the text to the
same URL that dumps to the generic Oracle page.  Thank goodness for the

actually looks useful.
