[mohaa] Solaris 8 MOHAA Dedicated Server

[Charles]

Here's Ryan's official take from the UT03 Faq..  Not the same entirely,
but I think the same thing applies:


Q: Can you port the server/client to Sparc/MIPS/Alpha/ARM/my toaster?
  A: This would require time, money, and permission from Epic. Not to
     mention 3D drivers if you want the client. Nothing is impossible,
     but the likelihood is low. Please don't send me any signed
     petitions, either.
