Unfortunately, Arch's package manager `pacman` shares it's name with a popular arcade video game. Thus, in order to refrain from executing the video game when we mean to execute the package manager, SPL_AC_PACMAN is now only run when $VENDOR is determined to be "arch".

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
