Experimentation shows that if one installs the 'fastdep' program, 
arranges to have aclocal and autoconf
in one's path and then run './buildconf', it will generate working 
Makefiles, that will just work on OpenSolaris.

I also noticed that the automake used for 2.08 was 1.9.6 and the 
automake used for
2.12 was 1.6.3.  1.6.3 is, um, ancient. When I re-ran the autoconf with 
the 1.9.6 version
of autoconf, it works with just the regular "make" on OpenSolaris.

Perhaps just regenerating the Makefile.in contents with a newer 
autoconfigure would be enough to fix this
problem on other machines?
