I can look into creating a spec file for VLC media player (using pkgbuild, http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/) and putting the spec file in the spec-files-extra repository on sourceforge.net. There it will join almost 300 community provides spec files.
Using a spec file, a binary package can be easily created. Maybe the spec file could be used by VideoLAN to produce packages. This message posted from opensolaris.org
