It wasn't actually as bad I remembered, but I prefer to have changes that can 
be easily merged upstream.

Checks for missing functions should be used instead of #fdef SOLARIS so that 
other platforms can benefit.

My understanding is that they're still investigating making parts of Compiz 
Fusion MIT licenced like the core, so support code from GPL libraries should be 
avoided.
