In many cases the _supported_os was probably copy-pasted when creating
new tests.  However, we can be pretty sure that the tests haven't all
been run on anything other than Linux and maybe Windows recently.

I think we can support other host OSes but we should combine this with
adding "make check" and maybe "make check-block" to the buildbot - that
way we'll be notified if the tests break.  There are Linux, Solaris, and
OpenBSD buildslaves.
