That's what I'm going to do instead.  I figure we have a linux_lib
port at the moment;  there's no reason why we can't have a "solaris_lib"
port which grabs its distfiles from your Solaris CD-ROM and builds
a /compat/svr4 tree from them.  If the "hello, world" program runs
successfully the Makefile can register the package...

Any volunteers for a sco_lib port?  SCO CD-ROMs are appalling for 
doing this kind of crap with, because they don't have a pre-extracted
distribution (a-la "life filesystem") on them, AFAIK.  And I don't
have SCO readily at hand.  And I think OpenServer is the second-worst
version of commercially-available UNIX on the market anyway so I don't
want to get too close to it :-)
