This is gccxml's attempt to build its patched gcc 4.2 parser (with a
CMake-ified build).  No one has ever tried it on opensolaris before,
AFAIK.  I can probably port it if I were given access to a machine, but
I won't be able to try until at least January.  If you want to try
yourself before that, feel free.
