This may be a good idea but we need to check for sparse zones since those are the problem with regards to writing to /usr.

This is how it looks when installing a CAS package in a sparse zone (with read-only /usr):

=> Installing CSWcas-usergroup-1.44,REV=2011.05.02 (4/55) ...
Please see /opt/csw/share/doc/cas_usergroup/license for license information.

The read-only status of /usr can be checked with mount and a useful message could be printed to help the user, something like: "You need to install the cas* packages in the global zone first".

This should be added to all cas packages (now that they are separate).
