Well, to be fair, the bulk of the packages that don't come from ON or SFW
are from NWS, and are there so people can boot off of fibrechannel SAN
devices and fun things like that.  I don't know if those really need to be
in Indiana, at least for the first cut.

After that, you've got devpro things like libC, libm, and cpp.  JES brings
in NSS and NSPR.  Install gives you the packaging and patching utils and
prodreg.  And all of this stuff is opensource now, isn't it?

I can provide the complete lists, if you like, though anyone can generate
it from an install image's .clustertoc and a list of ON packages.
