Should we care about those who have guessed wrong?  I think it would
be ok for us to report *-sun-solaris10 for Solaris 10 and above.  It
wouldn't break the property for earlier OSs.

The only catch is that earlier config.guess scripts would (probably)
still report sparc-sun-solaris2.10, so newer configure scripts could
be written based on this dated assumption and break.  But people are
encouraged to ship new software using the latest copies of these
files, so I don't consider this a big deal.
