The problem is when attributes are different between s10 and nevada
or OpenSolaris. You can either use %if statements (and cypromis keeps
nagging me to add something like %ifos solaris2.10) or you can
use "?" in the attributes, e.g.
%attr (0755, ?, ?) %{_libdir}/foo
(Note that this is not accaptable for packages integrated into
Solaris).
