IMO no because the primary purpose of "SUNWastdev" is to deliver the AST
development tools to /usr/ast/bin/ and not become the dumping ground for
everything which may be related to AST development. It's a choice for
the long term (looking at the next five or ten years) since I don't like
to move things around later (which only consumes lots of time and
paperwork). I'd like to pick the correct (and hopefully final) resting
place for the binaries in the first attempt without 666 followups to get
things moved (the choice of "SUNWCdev" was more or less picked for the
same reason (and to make sure the build machines have that package,
otherwise gatekeepers+build machine admins may demand my head on a stick
if this causes problems...). However I have no strong feeling about the
"SUNWCdev" choice since we could (AFAIK) make "SUNWonbld" depend on
"SUNWastdev" to archive the same goal).
