I was caught unawares by OmniOS not providing named since I saw that 
it included a 'bind' package and assumed that named (the most 
significant component of BIND) was included.  I use my own private 
build of BIND in order to obtain named.

Regardless, if named is added, it should be via a separate package 
from the resolver and utilities.
