It hasn't been integrated. It was used as an implementation detail of GNOME (I think) back before 2008.05, when the OpenSolaris GNOME was ahead of where it was in Nevada. The dependency got dropped after build 79. The package was re-introduced as of build 105 because of the way that pkg(5) currently handles package obsolescence, but it doesn't actually deliver any files. So if you want it, you'll have to figure out how to get it into Solaris. Danek
