 Ah, ok.  As long as we try the system-installed libzfs.h first, I'm ok then.

On OpenSolaris, you'll need the system/headers package:

% ls -las /usr/include/libzfs.h
  49 -rw-r--r--   1 root     bin        24369 Jun  9 13:43 /usr/include/libzfs.h
% pkg search -l libzfs.h
INDEX      ACTION VALUE                PACKAGE
basename   file   usr/include/libzfs.h pkg:/system/address@hidden

 Ok, no problem.
