Since I'm building packages that are not part of Solaris, they need
to be built against an older-than-latest version of S11.  But I'm hoping to 
avoid
1) having dedicated build machines running a specific old build of S11 just
to generate IPS packages from our pre-built binaries.
2) putting up with bugs in the old OS which are fixed in newer builds.
So I want to build the IPS packages (not the binaries) on a newer version
of S11 and reference the older build for purposes of pkglint and 
pkgdepend/resolve.
I think I have  the right recipe for pkgdepend/resolve (using -R pointing at
a mounted bootenv for the older S11 build)

I also want to run pkglint on build N and lint my packages against an
older S11 build.  

Today, I'm using this argument:
pkglint ... -r http://ipkg.us.oracle.com/solaris11/dev ...
Is there a different URI syntax for specifying a specific build in the repo?
If not, is there a way I can specify an alternate root location for the 
reference
image?  The man page for pkglint doesn't mention -R.
