As I mentioned on IRC, the fix is OK although it's a shame to have to
pull in all of gnu-coreutils (at present) just for /usr/bin/readlink.
The latter package is in need of some refactoring or I wonder if the
texinfo smf(5) method can be rewriten to avoud using "readlink"?

Devising a sensible split for coreutils is an interesting challenge. I think trying to split along functional lines would be difficult. Perhaps the split could be between files that deliver directly into /usr/bin without a g* prefix and everything else? The first subset would then be just those commands for which Solaris doesn't have an equivalent.
