2008.05 is not completely binary compatible with Solaris releases.
For instance, any of those packages that link against Motif libraries
won't work until we get Motif libraries released for 2008.05.
(Unlike the DP1 & DP2 releases, I think I've now fixed all the known
 X11 library ABI issues, but those were really incompatible with
 existing Solaris X apps at first.)
