A small note on this for posterity... originally I did just do this for
SUN511_ENV, since it was easier with the existing autoconf stuff we had
for Solaris. But we got a report of breakage for the same reason on
Solaris 10; the change to vn_setpath appears to also have been
introduced in some patch for Solaris 10. So now we detect vn_renamepath
directly again, and use it wherever it's available.
