I think Brock's question is *why* are you trying to determine what
packages owns a certain file.
If we knew that, there might some related RFEs there.
The only ones I can think of off-hand is when:
* I want to remove the package that owns a particular file
* update a package that owns a particular file
* determine the software version for that related file (i.e. I have
/usr/bin/httpd, but is it apache 2.2 or 2.3, etc.)
* I'm hanging out on #opensolaris IRC, and some user complains that they
can't find the foo command, which I know I have installed. (Though
responding to them with "pkg search -r foo" may be more educational
for them.)
