>Description:
on Solaris using openwin, the INSTALL.OpenWindows file tries to rename
files in ${X11BASE} and loses if it is mounted read-only:

mv: cannot rename /usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so.3 to /usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so.3.openwin: Read-only file system
ln: cannot create /usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so.3: Read-only file system
mv: cannot rename /usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so to /usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so.openwin: Read-only file system
ln: cannot create /usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so: Read-only file system

now that xpkgwedge is the default, I don't think this should be
necessary(?). binaries will need to be linked with exactly the right
rpath, though, to pick up libtiff from ${LOCALBASE} not ${X11BASE}.
