The Solaris port will already be mostly a recompilation.
Most of the work is checking the big-endian (Sparc) vs.
little-endian (x86) problems, so using Solaris x86
wouldn't help.

Doing support is more work than the initial port, so
I'd need a small Sparc box to do this.  I don't think
I'd make enough money from selling VueScan for Solaris
to make it economical to buy one though.
