hey all,

i've got the following webrev up for review:

http://cr.opensolaris.org/~edp/pkg-bugs1/
7491 problems destroying zones with cloned dependents
7640 zone datasets might not always promote correctly?

this is basically a re-write of the ipkg brand uninstall script so that
it can property deal with uninstalls of zones that have cloned datasets.

<optional background>

before anyone asks, yes, this code would have been better suited to
python rather than ksh.  but i don't know python yet and i'm hoping to
get this into the next os.o release.

also, this work largely duplicates the zfs management code introduced
for the native nevada brands by 6787557 and 6825063.  because of this
duplication (and the general complexity of automating the management of
zfs datasets which have clones), i've filed the some zfs RFEs so that
zfs can manage these issues itself.  (see 6833599 and 6833600.) once
these zfs RFEs are implemented, my fixes above (and the fixes for
6787557 and 6825063) can be removed.

</optional background>

thanks
ed
