rtorrent 0.8.2 and libtorrent 0.12.2 are available as SUNWrtorrent and
SUNWlibtorrent in the /dev repo, but it looks like xmlrpc-c support is not
compiled in.  That's a valid (and pretty easy to implement, from the looks
of it) RFE which you could bring up on sfwnv-discuss.

You can see how OpenSolaris compiles rtorrent and libtorrent at the sfwnv
project page:

    http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+sfwnv/

There's a link to the build instructions there, too:

    http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+sfwnv/install_quickstart

Since you'll be building your own, you won't need to follow most of the
instructions, but just grab the source tarball:

    http://dlc.sun.com/osol/sfw/downloads/current/

Alternately, you can poke around in

    http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/sfw/usr/src/

See lib/libtorrent and cmd/rtorrent and their respective Makefile.sfw
files for details on how they're actually built.  I don't know whether the
patches are still useful after almost two years of change in rtorrent, but
you may find something of value there.

Hope this helps,
Danek
