Subject: Solaris 2.4 and pine 3.94

Why do the makefiles contain the lines

 # LDCC= /usr/bin/cc
 # If you don't have /usr/bin/cc (our Solaris 2.2 doesn't seem to have it,
 # it only has /usr/ucb/cc) then change LDCC to the following line and
 # give that a try.  This is still using the Solaris compiler but
 # leaving out the UCB compatibility includes and libraries.
 LDCC= $(PICODIR)/cc5.sol

the Sun Compiler is _never_ going to be in /usr/bin and normally
resides in

/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc

(people will now disagree)

I'm porting a number of large packages to Solaris 2.4 and pine 3.93/4 is
the first that seems to have a big problem (despite all this it seems to
work....) of "knowing" where things are...
