     I've downloaded and started working with the Pre-Beta 2 on
Solaris 2.5.  I'm way behind schedule, so I'm making the fastest fixes
possible, which may mean ignoring / commenting out non-fatal errors.
These are the problems I encountered just getting to the bottom of
csbuild2 and getting Lynx started (more later):

- seeing lots of 'couldn't set locale correctly' from the echo command
  - seems Sol 2.5 doesn't like something about the way csuite does locale
  - ignoring this for now since it doesn't seem to cause any harm

- Sol 2.5 doesn't like something in the install-fr: target of
$CS_ROOT/build/makefile
  - comment out for now

- mksub blows up because of '. $CS_ROOT/lib/cs-shlib'
  - cs-shlib has export NAME=val which isn't a valid Bourne shell construct
    - mksub should use bash, or cs-shlib needs to be cleaned up

- sh-funcs(56): set lynx target to 'solaris'
  - the correct Lynx target for Solaris 2.x is 'solaris' not 'solaris2'
