Working on it. What I'm hoping to do is get a basic lazarus compiled, 
then bigide, then check over the remaining packages. At that point I can 
raise a categorised report, if we're very lucky everything will work and 
the solaris package list can be set to the same as BSD (at present the 
order is different).

I'm not confident I can get SVN running on this system- any guidance 
about recording changes as diffs etc. would be appreciated.
