Support for Solaris x86

As you can see in the previous two posts in this forum there have been previous requests for Crossover to support Solaris. Since those posts were written a lot, in fact, an astounding amount of work has gone into Solaris as a desktop and developer platform. The OpenSolaris.org has ~60, 000 members, the OpenSolaris distribution Indiana now ships as a commercially supported product and a distribution ecosystem has built up around the codebase with fine derivitaves such as Nexenta, Belenix & Schillix.

As a target I would argue that [open]Solaris presents a very different audience to Linux, many fortune 500's either use or are evaluating Sun Ray desktop solutions - Sun themselves must have at least ~ 20k of them, certain banks have started to use them in branches. These are groups that if aware and offered a well rounded commercial offering would love to be able to support their legacy applications on top of their Solaris deployments.

Even Sun had a go at doing this with Wabi in the 90's!
