What platforms are you looking for coverage on?

Looks like you will have coverage on Linux and Windows and you seem to 
indicate that you would like FreeBSD covered. Do you want:

AIX
HP UX (RISC)
HP UX (Itanium)
Solaris Sparc
Solaris x86
OpenBSD
NetBSD
Mac OS X 10.4 (Power PC)
Mac OS X 10.5 (Power PC)
Mac OS X 10.5 (Intel)
Windows Vista
Windows 2003
Windows XP

Note #1: I am not volunteering all of these platforms. (I might be able 
to have a few available. For example, my iMac that runs 100% and an 
older G3 800 Mhz Mac with 10.4 on it. I have a few boxes laying around 
that have low powered so I could setup a NetBSD box, possibly FreeBSD 
and/or OpenBSD) But I am trying to find out the platforms that you 
considered critical to run test builds on and the priority of acquiring 
server to build on.

Note #2: I understand the need to do daily builds, since it is part of 
my job at work.
