Not as they stand because (iirc) I need to make a tag file and make sure the full path is in the tarball.

They are probably the other main unixes we should target. I did have FreeBSD on CD, and Solaris 7(?), but that's x86. No Sparcs around here unfortunately. I do think that we should get the build sorted first as well though. Having looked at what's coming out of snake, I think it's (now) half dynamic and half static. The wx parts are static, but libpq, glibc etc. are dynamic.
