On the Sun's BigAdmin site, there is an article from October
describing the compiling and installing of amanda.  The version
used in the article is 2.4.4.p1 but the instructions would be
just as applicable to the current version.

Particularly interesting is the instructions for how to create
a System V package for the client software so that could be
a simple "pkgadd" operation.
