I am, and I think it sounds like a good idea, too.  Anywhere that we can 
automate problem checking/resolution is good.  Heck, even _I_ wasn't aware that 
moderately long package names might be a problem on Solaris.  People that don't 
use Solaris definitely wouldn't know to set a special var like that
