[Scilab-Dev] OpenSolaris experimental build.

[Jonathan Blanchard]

Thanks for your feedback. If all goes well an nobody report major
damage from using the build I will try to keep it as current as
possible.

I will also try myself a build from the new 5.1 tree.

Concerning the crash I haven't had time to check it but I believe it
might be linked to the usage of sun studio versus gcc. I'm not sure It
happen with the current build. I'll look into this further.
