What systems do we really support?

What we are talking about is future development (it's the royal "we" 
since I am only testing).  I suspect there will be a lot of effort put 
into xemacs beta so that it may happily co-exist with new technology 
like GNOME/Xft/Unicode/other things I know little about/etc.  Therefore, 
Solaris 8 and 9 would be pretty poor targets for development and 
support.  OTOH, Solaris 10 and, especially, OpenSolaris are right in the 
wheel house.  I suppose that the autotools are capable supporting 
crippled versions on Solaris 8 and 9.  But, the question is:  where do 
you want to put the effort?
