I think we should keep most of them, but classic Mac OS
(pre-X) can go, as we never worked there (not even Darwine),
and nobody cares about it anymore.  I've deleted
Mac System 7, and will delete the rest of the classic
mac OS's if there is consensus.

Do we even run on the others?

Seems the issue got distracted by the Mac argument, back to the
original point. Does anyone have a good reason we shouldn't remove
those OS's, aside from wanting to list 'em all pokemon style? They're
unsupported and unlikely to work. ALL those OS's only account for 4 of
the bugs open in bugzilla. Besides, if someone does file a bug, they
can always put other and then put their OS in the bug report...

While we're at it, I'd like to request adding PC-BSD (we separate out
the other BSD's) and OpenSolaris (which has some technical differences
from Solaris).

I'm OK with removing unpopular/dead OS's that have no bugs filed.
Especially OpenVMS, which never ran on x86...
