Yes, that would be very nice.

I have made no decision, because I don't know what the limitations are.
Experiments such as yours are providing very useful information about
the boundaries. It's very early days, and I'll take all your feedback
and see if I can overcome the difficulties. Watch this space.

My own testing environments are Linux and FreeBSD, though I guess I
could manage Solaris as well. I would definitely expect it to run on
those three.
