I've found the BSDs are easy to run in a local VM, although it would
certainly be nice if they were available on faster cfarm h/w.

N.B. GCC also supports Dragonfly BSD now, and that runs well in a VM.

I have root on gcc70 so could upgrade that to a newer NetBSD if the
people using it would prefer a newer version. I might need simple
instructions though, I find the pkg mgt stuff on NetBSD a real pain.

Solaris and Darwin are the targets I most often wish I could test on.

Yeah, I couldn't get that to work on my Fedora machine and gave up.
