I think that the long (Solaris) install output is from Andy's packages
he produced for Citrus IT. I'm not sure they are available any more,
the output shows ClamAV 0.92 and I can't find anything about it on
Citrus IT's web site. If this section can't be verified I think it's
better to remove it since it doesn't help Solaris users, there's not
even a link there.
The section about OpenCSW is current though (I'm the maintainer).
We're at 0.99.2.
