aha .. spec file extra (not to be confused with the old rpm- 
pkgbuild.sf.net GUI tool) .. so i see that IPS support just found it's  
way in here in dev release 1.3.90 .. what project is this plugging  
into on opensolaris.org?  pkgfactory? and are we going to keep doing a

folding it in? or just forking?
