For the plugins, use the snapshot from
http://www.debisschop.net/src/nagios/

There a lot of solaris fixes in there, as there was one point for a week
or two where things were pretty harsh for non-linux builds.

These days, the plugins should build cleanly on most platforms (OS-X is
the one exception I know of). GNU make should NOT be required, unless
you build for multiple platforms in subdirectories off the top of the
tarball.

Get them now, as I'll be offline in a few days while I move. I'll see if
I can get an alternate location set up, but no promises.

As for nagios, I am also using the CVS tree, as reflected a snapshot
from a few weeks ago. Haven't built that on Solaris, but it has been
running well for me on linux.
