AFAIK first there would need to be a consens that replacing things like
/usr/bin/grep with /usr/xpg4/bin/grep etc. is "ok" (and add
/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin in front of the $PATH provided by "bldenv"
(this is what I mean with "POSIXyfiying")) ...
... the other items include less controversial things - like sticking a
"-xtrconst" to all SUNWonbld build tools (and some other places, IMO we
should make a list of commands which are run very often and check how
the performance can be improved (options include the usage of
"-xtrconst", lazyload, I/O via libast etc.)), cleanup some scripts etc.
