Please place an updated README.Solaris in wip/bootstrap.

pkgsrc maps systems to a mk/platform/${platform}.mk so if Solaris and
illumos use the same platform/foo.mk file, they are the same platform,
by definition, and then there are within-platform differences
accomodated there. However, "egrep -R llumos ." in mk does not match
any code.
I lean to thinking that our README.${platform}
should exactly mirror that naming and if not it's a bug. Currently this
is platform/SunOS.mk and bootstrap/README.Solaris
If you want to propose a split into platform/Solaris and
platform/Ilumos, that's a big change and would need rationale on
tech-pkg. But I am unaware of a problem that it would solve.

Thanks. Please review what I just put in README.Minix3 and if it's not
right, please put a fixed version in wip/bootstrap.
