Getting a solaris-builder would be awesome.  My understanding is that
people both use a Solaris supplied compiler as well as GCC regularly
on this platform (ok, I don't fully know what I am talking about here,
since I don't have access to Solaris), and having one builder for each
compiler would be awesome.  (As would a linux machine with an intel
compiler, now that I am dreaming).

Additionally, right now I personally have a need for a login to a
Solaris machine. Some build problems with Rgraphviz has been reported
on Solaris and there is no way I can fix them without command line
access.
