RE: Sent out a pull-request to upgrade the packaging system....

NOTE:  it seems at least gcc 7 is a good idea for the Solaris build.   Autoconf 2.69 seems to be the minimal level.

To start from a clean set of source.

% git clean -dfx
% ./autogen

( Not sure if autogen is necessary any more.   It can be done automatically in the scripts. )

To build binaries and packages in the top directory (where the source is) ... depending what you are running on.   [Same dir setup as old].

% ./packaging/rpm/build client
% ./packaging/deb/build client
% ./packaging/sun-pkg/build client

To build current working dirs in a subdirectory (rpmbuild, debbuild or pkgbuild) and keep the top clear.

% ./packaging/rpm/buildpkg client
% ./packaging/rpm/buildpkg client
% ./packaging/sun-pkg/buildpkg client

The Solaris 11 wasn't fully going until today when I adjusted where the license is installed.
