Mhhh... Ok... but I am not sure whether it makes sense to split it
between "SUNWcsu" and "SUNWesu" ([1]) since the code lives in
libcmd.so.1 which is already (even now, ksh93-integration update2 only
delivers bugfixes in this case) in the "SUNWcsl" package (= "SUNWcsu"'s
counterpart for shared libraries). From the technical viewpoint it's
possible...

[1]=Just curious: Why was this split originally made, e.g. why are the
basic POSIX/SUS commands split over multiple packages (sounds like a
good way to cause trouble for script writers) ?
