First, thanks for caring for Solaris!

What my intention was, was to sort Unix-flavor specific things in platform/, for example, as you did with the pulse change.
Similar changes should go into, for example, the SSL-stuff as to have it always linked, never dynloaded.

then we can have a symlink sunos-whatever to linux-whatever.

Anyway, Thank you, and lets go ahead and see :)
