All these patches are rolled in to the source tree, and are available
via either CVS or using the daily tarball.

The missing piece is the notification system: there is a Ruby bug
tracking system at http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/ruby-bugs, but
people tend not to use it. If the solaris issue was raised as a bug
report, rather than as a message to the list, then Matz would have
posted a response back to that system. Anyone looking for help with a
Solaris issue would then go to the system and find it.

If we could make use of this system more universal, then its value
would increase dramatically.
