+This is a small utility to translate from NetBSD-derived pkgsrc
+packages into Solaris packages. I wrote this as an aid to
+understanding Solaris packages, and to provide some Solaris packages
+which can be used in jumpstart, and manipulated with the Solaris
+package manipulation tools, but still have the benefit of the original
+package being maintained by a number of people who know what they're
+doing, and put a lot of time into keeping abreast of latest versions
+and bug fix releases.
