The client API at fsouza/go-dockerclient has dependencies on packages in
the docker/docker repository which currently do not build on Solaris. In
particular, stat_unsupported.go makes use of the Mtimespec field of the
syscall.Stat_t struct, which is not present on Solaris, and a number of
Unix-specific packages do not list Solaris in their compile targets.
This commit adds enough support to be able to build
fsouza/go-dockerclient on SmartOS using Go 1.5.1 without affecting other
platforms.

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Docker project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the docker core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible.
If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the
Docker organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good
place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
