I haven't been including the package definitions for packages that
contain only non-open binaries, so SUNWxwplt and the new SUNWxsun-*
packages aren't included in any of the source drops. Is there a
use to seeing the packaging definition files of packages you can't
build the binaries for?

SUNWxwplt's package name is unchanged. Applications that require
libX11 and other X libraries will continue to depend on SUNWxwplt.
The Xsun server was split out into new packages, so packages that
deliver Xsun modules will need to change, but there are far far
fewer of those than X client applications.

SUNWxwrtl could be included at any time since it's simply symlinks,
and no actual files - I just hadn't considered it. I don't have
a schedule for any others - it's been a "as time allows" project.
Is there something specific you're looking for?
