Since OpenSolaris was yanked from the net, the DTrace link in our
documentation points to approximately nowhere.  I propose the attached
patch with a link to Wikipedia instead (for lack for strong
alternatives), and a few other updates.

That seems to just be a blog aggregator? And most things on there now
aren't even about dtrace. So -1 for that, seems the wikipedia article
