[companion-discuss] New F/OSS reference document spanning multiple projects

Many Solaris and Nevada F/OSS projects generate not just binary packages,
but build recipes. Build recipes include data such as configure, make,
install parameters; dependencies (intra-project and inter-project); build
environment; patches; and comments.

Below is a "Build Recipes Reference" I'm developing. There are 410 entries.
It is comprised of subsets of F/OSS packages from the following projects:
Companion CD, GAR (from blastwave), pkgbuild (both SFE and JDS), pmpkg, and
SFW. Projects not covered are those that don't publish build data (that I'm
aware of).

I used the F/OSS database from freshmeat.net as the master index for
matching against. As such, the following limitations are known to cause
false negatives:
   * The Freshmeat F/OSS index is not exhaustive and not entirely predictable.
   * Projects often don't use the exact same package name as Freshmeat does.

In summary, each of the freshmeat-indexed packages listed below can be
found in one or more of the six projects listed above, within the
limitations described above.

The full reference is here:
