Do we really have to deliver the source components (maybe with the
exception of the /usr/demo stuff) as packages now that they are readily
available from www.opensolaris.org?

Bad idea if we try to keep the last component unique.

Perhaps too verbose: I think we should keep familiar names if they
exist: storage/svm or storage/volume-manager/svm, or even below system?

Again: keep well-known names if they exist: wanboot is such a name.

Better command/gnu-awk for consistency with the other GNU software.  On
the otherhand, gawk *is* well known by that name.  Would it be possible
to have some sort of alias here?
