[pca] new "pkgdep" command

[Jeff Earickson]

All,

If you have mucked with perl on Solaris, beware.  Here is what I got:

(71)> /usr/sbin/pkgdep -v SUNWgzip
Can't locate Sun/Solaris/Utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.12.1/sun4-solaris
/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.12.1 /opt/perl5/lib/5.12.1/sun4-solaris
/opt/perl5/lib/5.12.1 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.10.1
/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/sbin/pkgdep line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/pkgdep line 13.

I installed later versions of perl in /opt and Sun's /usr/bin/perl got
overwritten by my version.  I did find Sun/Solaris/Utils.pm in
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib, but I haven't figured out how to get this stuff
copied from there to /opt/perl5/lib to get pkgdep to work.  I hope
this doesn't bite me later...
