>Description:
pkgsrc on Solaris should include a dependancy on devel/patch if
/usr/bin/gpatch is not available. Right now, ${LOCALBASE}/bin/patch is
attempted, whether it is installed or not.

===> Required package perl>=5.0: NOT found
===> Verifying package for ../../lang/perl5
===> Patching for perl-5.6.1nb7
===> Applying SunOS patches for perl-5.6.1nb7
/bin/sh: /usr/pkg/bin/patch: not found
Patch /usr/pkgsrc/lang/perl5/patches/patch-aa failed
*** Error code 1

>How-To-Repeat:
attempt to build a package with patches without having devel/patch
installed.
>Fix:
add some smarts to defs.SunOS.mk ?
