You sure get rid of it, S10 zone was present in Opensolaris and it can 
be used in production also now.

That would give you the time to compile it etc.
If there are sources for libraries and for the app, something surely can 
be worked out.
Anyway, you need dev help and also see what versions of libraries are 
and are they are breaking compatibility with apps and doe updatign 
library need app recompilation.

As I read http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/xview/
there are workarounds
After that you can contribute them to OI hipster to have them available 
in the future.
(Newest test install ISO for OI hipster: 
http://buildzone.oi-build.r61.net/OI_GUI_experimental-2015-12-18.iso )
There is also #oi-dev and #openindiana on FreeNode IRC and oi-dev 
mailing list.

As I undersand, you ctually need OpenLook libraries.
