Actually, older/commercial Unices don't support the "z" option with tar,
so one has to (download and) run gzip separately, like:

	gzip -dc john-1.7.1.tar.gz | tar xf -

Compilers are not bundled with Solaris.  There used to be a free
time-limited trial that you could download separately - then you'd need
to purchase the product (which was not cheap).  Apparently, now the
compilers became free (as in beer, not as in speech):

"Sun Studio 11 software introduces a new pricing model for developer
tools.  There is no longer a license fee for Sun Studio 11 software.
Yes, Sun Studio 11 is Free!  However, there are a variety of support
options, available with Sun Studio 11 software, to fit the needs of all
customers."

Correct.

There's no such thing with John currently.  The builds of John that
people are making for themselves are not meant to be installed on a
system globally.
