It seems that we would only want:
* reports of failures on systems we believe to work
* reports of successes *or* failures on systems we haven't tested.

So we should be telling folks something like: if you run X, Y, or Z,
let us know if the install fails or there are large numbers of test
failures.  If you have something more exotic, we'd appreciate a report
if you build successfully.  And the list can be dynamic: if we hadn't
verified, say, FreeBSD 2.2.6 but some user does, we can indicate that.
