Are you inside or outside of Sun?  If you're outside of Sun, the
current process requires you to get a manager to act as a proxy for
you.  (Yes, this part of ARC work doesn't scale nicely for Open
Solaris.)

First, talk with the responsible manager that owns the interfaces.  In
this case, I'd say that's Darrin Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Negotiate a contract for the use of the interfaces.  The template for
that contract is here:

  http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/handbook/contract/

You can see an example of such a contract in PSARC 2006/438
contract-03 if you're on the SWAN.  If you're not, then ask to have
2006/438 opened up.

The manager *should* push you towards making or using a more stable
interface for this purpose, as that's the better technical solution.
Contracts are quite painful for everyone involved.
