I just have some doubts about the pertinence of adding lots of platform 
nobody uses to *develop* on...

Let's take for example the Solaris platform. Trac more or less works 
there, but in case of a problem, users are on their own. Adding a 
Solaris build would perhaps be informative, but if something goes wrong, 
we couldn't really do something about it. Same goes for the various 
Windows Server 200x [Ry] versions someone requested earlier, and I think 
same goes for the various BSD ones.

Bottom line: don't bother to propose adding a new configuration unless 
you're also volunteering to actively support it. I think that will help 
a lot fighting the combinatorial effect ;-)
