Note that this is on the very-speculative-and-would-be-a-lot-of-work part

A Solaris port has been requested almost as frequently as a Windows port.
But a port would be difficult to a non-open source OS, because Valgrind
does lots of low-level OS stuff.  A BSD port (FreeBSD is easily the most
asked-for) would be a much easier first OS port.  Also, I suspect we
wouldn't get full value out of a Solaris port without also doing a SPARC
architecture port.
