1. Change the make install command to use INSTALL_PREFIX instead of prefix and exec-prefix. My research shows that the intention of INSTALL_PREFIX is to allow package maintainers to install packages, and that's exactly what we're doing here.) My guess is that the old method would have failed if we had overridden more directories in configure (such as pointing the sysconfdir to /etc). Since that would not have been overridden in the make install, it would have tried to put the files in /etc. That would have probably failed (assuming you're not building as root) and would definitely not make it into the package. If I misunderstand something here, please let me know.
2. Remove some unnecessary chmods.
3. Use default ownership of root:sys vs. bin:bin (and in the process, make sure that we don't make any gratuitous attribute changes to directories.)
4. Cleaned up some blank lines.

Right now I'm tweaking README.solaris because of a bad patch number and a
problem I found with crle on Solaris 2.6. It's nothing drastic and only
affects one platform. This is little stuff that should make the cut.
For ages, I've wanted to distribute net-snmp for Solaris using packages
instead of .tar's. It's a New Thing requiring extensive documentation,
possibly some files and a buncha other stuff. I don't see it as a candidate
for 5.2's documentation (even though I would like to ship the binaries that
way).
