Garance's procedure for doing a src upgrade has worked quite well for
us so far.  But just in case someone hoses a system and needs to
reload we built a snapshot miniinst ISO image that has the 64-bit
time_t modification already done.  That way you have something you
can load off of and not need to re-attempt the src upgrade.

It's on the FTP sites in the snapshots/sparc64 directory.  I'll build
a new one to replace this one after Garance makes the official commit.
