agreed.   IIRC, we had discussed pulling in libltdl into the tree, but
with the focus moving from S10 to SXCE/OSOL2008, I think that
fell by the wayside.

Perhaps we should just throw the ltdl.h and libltdl.so into it's own
package like FOSShier, other than the fact that there isn't a sparc version.

Lukas - if you have a code base for the x86 binaries that we can use, I'll
spin up the sparc box and see about building it there so it can be available
for both architectures on Solaris 10.

as I've mentioned before, my work is around validation of the packaging
stuff, so if something doesn't build that should, I figure out why.  As for
determining whether something should be in or not, I'm the last guy you
should ask.  I never ran KDE until may this year.... :-)  If you want it out,
or "conditionally out", we can do that.
