Hi Clay,

There's a couple of comments below. Other than that I think for the most part 
this looks OK.

It appears that the name is still something like
"SUNW-automated-installer-common" I thought this was to be changed to
something more descriptive. Something like "Automated installer Common
Components" or did I misunderstand this comment?

It doesn't look like 4402 was originally referring to these Makefile
changes to add these common paths. If we're talking about doing these
makefile canges anyway why not start that with this change? I guess
this is more of a nit but if it's not too much additional work maybe
we should do this now.
