Thankfully I'm not the only one on this. Sergey Bochkanov makes this point very
well - see the last 3 paragraphs of

Yes.
It could be a close race on those three, though if I had to bet, my money would
be on 32-bit Solaris + OpenSolaris on x86 hardware being first - the 32-bit
SPARC port is complete.
There's only one non-trivial issue to solve on Solaris x86, and that's getting
SYMPOW to work correctly.
SYMPOW affects Cygwin too - I'm not sure about FreeBSD though.
