This is a great start; I tried it on a snv75 system.

However, I did run in to a few things trying this tonight:

* It didn't like my compiler: "cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 Patch
124868-01 2007/07/12" (newer version than one in script); but it was
just a warning so I was able to continue on.

* I had to run it as root since pkgadd complained (this was despite
the fact that I gave my user software installation privilege)

* I received the message "cp: cannot create regular file
`//root/packages/SPECS/': Not a directory" until I manually created
said directory

Overall, this was awesome!

It worked perfectly once I took care of the above.
