  I had seen this and downloaded it.  The problem is that it is for
Solaris Express, not the 'standard' Solaris 10.  This fails because it
expects a newer version of ssl than supplied.

  Forgive me if I have used the wrong terms, but it is becoming clear
to me that Solaris 10 exists in two versions.  The 'commercial'
versions, which is what we have to use, and has a slow update cycle
(we are on 11/06) and Express, which seems much more up-to-date, but
seems not to be available commercialy.

  Many thanks for the pointer.  I'll take a look at it.  It would
appear that I haven't been supplied with the Studio compiler.
