Sounds cool.  Just a couple of questions, without having tried anything
myself:

  - Which of the .diff files are strictly needed?  All of them?  Is this
    one logical changeset, or should it be split up into distinct
    bugfixes?

  - Why "incomplete"?

  - Let's please not comment out code that's out of date, just remove
    it entirely.

  - It's a bit unfortunate that we hardcode absolute paths to system
    binaries in Config.* files at all, so this is not a problem you've
    caused. :-)  I have to ask anyway though:
    
    These patches change some of those paths.  If we do that, let's at
    least make certain that the situation truly improves.  So how
    canonical are these new locations really?

    Specifically, if Solaris Express has different paths than
    OpenIndiana, I'd personally prefer the Solaris Express paths...
