[OmniOS-discuss] no headers in default install?

On the current stable, it looks like the compiler is part of the default
install, but not header files or utilities like ar?

>From a minimization perspective, I guess I could see not including any
dev tools as part of the base install, but including a compiler but not
the pieces that make it work seems inconsistent.

What are thoughts on including dev tools in the base install? If it's a
yes, maybe the other pieces could come along for the ride? If a no,
perhaps the compiler should be pulled out to decrease confusion? If the
latter, it would be nice to have a meta package that pulls everything in
(maybe there already is one)? So far I've installed system/header,
math/header-math, and developer/object-file to get something compiled,
I'm probably still missing pieces that nothings needed yet :).

Thanks...
