[Setup-tool-hackers] sun-support

[Richard Bos <allabos freeler nl>(by way of Richard Bos <allabos freeler nl>)]

I want to put some effort in getting xst running on sun-solaris for at least
the tools I'm working on myself: package-conf.in and (not in cvs)
system-conf.in.  To get the tools at least running the script platform.pl.in
file must be updated, which I somehow did.  Somehow because I only know 1
way of checking the installed solaris version which is via uname.  Is there a
better way?  Awaiting your advice I now put in function that is checking the
version of an sun system "return solaris-2.6", see attached patch.
