I think mapserver is rarely built by end users on win32 platforms. As
for the problems you point out on solaris, having done this myself,
I'd say the difficulty is building any opensource stack on that
platform rather than specifically mapserver. Getting it done on on the
more open *nix's is rarely a problem.
