I actually went a step further and revamped the architecture a bit. Check out the "platform" branch in gitbuild.git. My goal was to try to include more information in the gitbuild repository about exactly what goes into the test setup for each platform.

I'm currently building, testing, and pushing FreeBSD 6.1 and Solaris 2.8 with it (you can see the copious tests I am skipping in jk/solaris/config).

If you like this approach, please go ahead and add an "mr/aix" profile with your setup. See the README for details, and let me know if you have questions. The script is a mish-mash of yours, mine, and some extra rewrites. I wouldn't be surprised if it needs a tweak or two. :)
