Cool!

I don't know about AIX; somebody from CA asked about it
last year.

But there are a few folks using Winelib with alternate
OS's and CPUs.  Perhaps some of them would be able to
help you past some of the rough spots.

A few links from a quick google search:

Robert Lunnon got a Solaris/X86 port working; see
http://members.optusnet.com.au/bobl/
http://www.blastwave.org/wine/
http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Installing_Wine#Solaris
And various people are using Winelib on Solaris/Sparc; see
http://www.winehq.org/?issue=302#Building%20Wine%20on%20Sparcs
And then there are the folks building Wine for Darwin.
http://darwine.opendarwin.org

Good luck, and do keep us posted!  I bet you're not the
only one who wants this.

Sorry for being off topic, would there be any opposition if I linked
the above Solaris site to our downloads page and created a Solaris
section?

I think that would be an excellent idea.
