I just reinstalled a new Solaris machine (a Sun Blade 1500) with 9.3
and then updated to 9.4, and I'm in the process of pulling all the
interesting bits of dcl (one of my workstations) onto it so I can
decommission the old machine.

Everything seemed to go pretty much okay, but I did get a few warning
messages that I assume aren't too serious:

Finished installing Athena core packages.

[similar for MIT-ispell]

There was also a message displayed at some point complaining about
some file with a .jar suffix, but I can't find it in the install log
on the machine...
