My buildbots test on "all the BSDs" (Free, Net, Open, and they have a
/bin/sh which is "It only supports features designated by POSIX plus a few
Berkeley extensions") and OpenSolaris 11 (ksh93). Samuli's buildbot
test on various Linux variants, so "dash" should work.

Generally speaking, AIX is major pains :-) - but the /bin/sh is a ksh,
so if it works in ksh93, AIX should be fine.

We already need fping/fping6 for t_client, so yes. Autoconf wants Perl,
so if it makes sense to rewrite t_client.sh to use that, it might be
another option (but we shouldn't require extra perl *modules*).

If these all work, we should be in good shape - I was mostly worried
about Solaris, but MacOS might have some surprises as well.
I compile using gcc on Solaris, but haven't received any reports about
Solaris Studio *not* working - whatever that means ("nobody uses Solaris"
or "it just works") :-)

Happy to. I can't give other people access to the AIX systems (customer),
so can't run a buildslave there - but running openvpn tests is fine.
