Joseph, Kevin,

The attached patch illustrates the minimum needed to enable solibs for 
Solaris.  It just needs to be filled out so that other systems are 
updated like I did for PPC linux (hint, hint ;-)

Once this is in place we can follow through with other cleanups - much 
will fall out!

There's just one non-technical nit.

It means breaking non solib.[hc] shared library systems.  Kevin 
indicated that there were two - AIX and HP/UX remaining.  I think we can 
live with that - we've patiently waited for what, more than two years 
for nothing to happen, so it is now time to give things that gentle push.

What do each of you think,
Andrew
