Hi!

Just finished of the upgrade of my SPARC machine (what better way to 
spend your time on a Christams Eve? :-) ). Great stuff, as usual!

I appreciate the work you did to simplify installation in a foreign 
locale. Last couple of times I had to investigate myself and edit a 
couple of files to be able to log in using something other than en_US. 
Now it was much easier, using your description and the provided program 
and icon (though, of course; having done this before on this box might 
have helped...).

Also installed a couple of language packs. And here I have some remarks:

- runconfigure bailed out first complaining about an undefined 
WORKSHOP_ROOT variable. I guess this was used for your compiler root? I 
just did likewise, and it went through. Probably I could just have 
removed it as well.

- The provided adapted configure script I never got the hang of (always
complained about missing input files). I ended up just merging in the
path diffs ("/opt/fsw4sun") into the distribution (original) configure
file. Then it went OK. Probably missed some stuff, but seems fine for my
use.

So again: Great packages, appreciate you doing this! Hope you have time 
at some point to make packages for 3.5 as well.

Now on to upgrade my Sun provided Intel laptop...
