This brings up an interesting question.  Since SunOS 5.x (more "properly" 
known as Solaris 2.x) is SVR4 based, what are our chances of
compatibility?  Would it take yet another COMPAT_ option to run Solaris
2.4 binaries under NetBSD?  (or perhaps they still use the ISC base to 
work from, I have no idea.)

This would certainly give people with no alternatives but to run
Solaris/x86 applications a way to get out from under the Solaris death
grip. :-)

Just curious...
