Would you send us your modified source tree of Etoile that builds on 
Solaris? We just managed to get the stuff compiled by excluding a bunch 
of subprojects but I would be eager to know if you got better results 
(more subprojects to build).

Right now we are trying to figure out what we have to do after the 
"make install" to make use of Etoile. Do we need to set a defaults 
variable? Right now we use WindowMaker installed from blastwave. Is it 
a correct assumption that Etoile is meant to replace WindowMaker? How 
do we get this beast do run now under Solaris?

Thanks a lot!
