Juergen,

you're the best one.

In secret I knew you would have it running.

Yes - too much compile time errors.
Missing include files, parsing errors (caused by the partly missing, 
partly incompatible) *.h files.

All that eats my time and I will get into struggle, if I do not stop now 
(for this year).
But I wanted to build a first publicly available pkgadd package.

I'm just going to make some PR for QEMU.
(www.solariscentral.org)
Let's se, whether they will accept my submission.

I also plan to ask both www.sunfreeware.com and SUNW's Companion CD 
department.
It would help Solaris to compete against VMware based systems.

Of course your help is *very* appreciateb by me, as you have lots more 
UNIX programming experience, knowledge == background than me.


Finally going to bed now (yesterday's session);

best regards,
Martin
