Subject: Flag Day: ksh93 update1 - new OS/Net build machine requirement

My recent integration to the onnv-gate was contributed by
Roland Mainz (roland.mainz at nrubsig dot org).

The putback of:
        PSARC/2008/094 Korn Shell 93 Integration project update 1
        PSARC/2008/344 ksh93 Integration Update 1 Amendments 1
	6619428 *ksh93* RFE: Update ksh93 in Solaris to ast-ksh.2008-11-04
                (or higher)
        6595183 *ksh93* RFE: Update ksh93-integration demo code
        6561901 *ksh93* RFE: Add "shcomp" (shell script compiler) + kernel
                module to exec binary sh code
        6599668	*ksh93* RFE: Move consumers of alias.sh over to ksh93
	et al

will update /usr/bin/ksh93 to a newer version. The
putback will also add new utilities, such as the shell script
compiler "shcomp", and update several other utilities, including
/usr/bin/test, /usr/bin/sleep, and /usr/bin/sum.

NOTE: New requirement for OS/Net build machines

  If you have installed the Entire Distribution of build 72 or later
  on your build machine, no change is needed.

  The OS/Net gate now builds C locale message files for ksh93 and its
  supporting libraries, using the AT&T message catalog compiler and other
  utilities in /usr/ast/bin.  OS/Net Build machines will now be
  required to have the "SUNWastdev" package installed, which has
  been available since build 72.
