Some points of special interest to the IPS project that I didn't
call out in the general code review yesterday:

 - developer/opensolaris/pkg5 dependency on x11/header

   While this should still work, you probably only need a subset
   of the headers it installs.   I didn't update
   util/distro-import/133/common/pkg5-dev since I didn't determine
   which subset, nor did I know if you'd still be using that once
   Danek finishes the work to make the pkg gate build IPS packages.

 - Facets arrive on the system in a big way

   147 packages contain at least one action with a facet attribute
   including file, dir, depend, legacy, and set actions

   The facet attributes present in the X packages include:
          74 facet.devel=false
        2741 facet.devel=true
         266 facet.doc.html=true
        1985 facet.doc.man=true
           2 facet.doc.pdf=true
         336 facet.doc=true

   Plus two packages tagged with:
         set name=facet.devel value=true

 - compatibility/package/SUNW*

   I've adopted Bart's suggestion and hopefully set a precedent
   for other refactoring projects that need to support backwards
   compatibility with SVR4 packages that depend on the old contents.

   When there's a difference, this should probably be defined as
   compatibility with the Solaris 10 definitions of the SUNW*
   packages for third party software to get the right dependencies,
   and not necessarily any refactoring we'd done in the SVR4 packages
   in Nevada builds.   I think the ones I've made satisfy both for X.
