I am not sure whether this is a limitation.

Up to now, I was always able to express my needs with the system.

-       cpp is closed source and thus not available on OpenSolaris.
        There is however SCHILYcpp and SCHILYcppr.
        I also provide an empty SUNWcpp that depends on SCHILYcpp and 
        SCHILYcppr and that is installed to give compatibility.

-       If you like to allow different implementations to provide the same
        interface, you need to create different empty wrapper packages

This is not supported by pkgadd.....
