Mind == blown.

I've set aside time next week, so assistance on these is incoming. :)

Fedora 17 and 18 are past EOL (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life),
so they could be dropped I guess.

Looks like there's no OpenIndiana (any Solaris build?) there - did that
VM never get up / come back?  I have one here I'll be attempting to get
into my QA farm next week, but its a year or two dated by now.  I think
FreeBSD is up to v10 - I have a v9 somewhere, it exposed a few toolchain
updates/issues recently IIRC, so might be worth a look.

Win32/Win64? ;)  /me runs ... still much dev work needed there first,
I know.

Thanks Ken!
