Comment:

 Since this has come up again, I'll make a few further comments.

  * 'pkg-get' is not a Solaris command, but a command from 'Blastwave'.
  * You need root access to use software from Blastwave.
  * Blastwave has had some ''issues'' with bitter arguments between those
 involved. It was down for several weeks, but is now online. There is a
 ''fork'' of OpenCSW now.
  * The link I gave to the source for iconv is probably well out of date
 now.
