No, you're right there isn't a use for seeing the packaging definition files of 
packages I can't build binaries for.  The change log for build 43 lead me to 
believe that the source code files/patches/etc that are required to build the 
SUNWxwplt package had been released but hadn't made it into the source drop for 
build 43.  Currently without the libraries provided by the  SUNWxwplt package 
you can't really do anything interesting with X for example, run applications 
like Adobe Acrobat.  When will the sources to those libraries get released on 
CDDL/OBL or some license where I can build all the libraries belonging to 
SUNWxwplt.

Yes, I'm looking for SUNWxwrtl and SUNWmfrun (motif), any ideas when will they 
be released on CDDL/OBL?

Thanks!
