Jörg,
I have the kit and Schillix-0.2 so just need time to
review.
If someone already has X built for you then just tar
up the binaries/libs and post them on the mirrors. I
have tarballs of X 6.8.2 (CVS) compiled as well as in
Solaris package formats. Take your pick. if you have a

it runs any existing Solaris software without modifications.

Yes. I did a cvs update of the tree several hours back. I have also
included Firefox 1.5/ Thunderbird 1.5 Beta2, Gaim, XMMS, some of the
libraries from Gnome 2.12 with Cairo support,
Very valid point.
Would be nice if all opensolaris-based distros could guarantee to run
unmodified C binaries. There are quite a few ways to achive that.
