Yes 10% or so I think, drop by on #ogle at irc.freenode.net if you want
to talks to some other Sparc Solaris users.

I'm afraid it's a bit more diffucult than that.  You _must_ use the cvs
version of libdvdread as the layout of some structs have changed to allow
compilation with Forte, and since it has changed it breaks binary 
compatability!  According to the 'versioning recomendations' for libtool
the so version in cvs has not been changed, it will change when we do a
release. This will stop you from using this version and keeping the old
one at the same time.  You could change the so version yourself just trying
to point out that all this is non trivial.
Maybe it would be better to bump the so version in cvs anyway...
or just wait untill the next release.
