I am not sure if pandoc supports Solaris, I would think not. OpenCSW does
not have any Haskell compiler AFAICT.

I would think that having pandoc on Solaris is not super important. R can
still run all the vignette code without pandoc, only the creation of the
actual vignette, e.g. the markdown to HTML conversion is skipped. This step
does involve any R or R packages code, and it can also be tested on other
platforms.
