Howdy,

While reading through the release notes, I noticed that the GNU coreutils are required on Solaris hosts. After doing a bit of testing, it looks like /usr/ucb/install and either /usr/sfw/bin/gtar or /usr/bin/tar can be used in place of the coreutils variants. Would it be possible to get something like the following added to the Makefile.defs?:

# Line 165 in Makefile.defs
ifeq ($(OS), solaris)
    INSTALL=$(if [ -f /usr/ucb/install ]
                then
                    echo "/usr/ucb/install"
                else
                    echo "ginstall"
              fi)

    TAR=$(if [ -f /usr/sfw/bin/gtar ]
         then
               TAR="/usr/sfw/bin/gtar"
         else
               TAR="/usr/bin/tar"
         fi
else
    INSTALL ?= install
    TAR ?= tar
endif

Thanks,
- Ryan
