Well, one way to attack it is to look at the current supported-platforms
list and try to get buildfarm representation for everything not covered
already.

http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/supported-platforms.html

I don't think we need more buildfarms running more random distros of
Linux ;-) --- unless they are running non-gcc compilers.  People
should be encouraged to test with non-gcc compilers if they have any
available.

We seem to be short on buildfarm representation for AIX, HPUX, Solaris
(particularly older variants), Tru64; it'd be nice to cover all the
hardware platforms each of these runs on.  For that matter, we're a bit
thin on the unusual-hardware ports of the *BSDen.
