The barrier is worse for the trailblazer. I think that the biggest 
mistake of the Git developers with respect to Solaris installation was 
to put

    INSTALL = ginstall

in Makefile under SunOS. The workaround, however, is simple once you 
know what it is.

Anyway, I have contributed to the wiki, as you suggested.
