It can be done, but it's definitely not trivial.  We did it, and not
only did we change the master's name, but we migrated from Windows to
Solaris at the same time.  It was ugly and it took us a few stabs at it
before it worked.  There are lovely issues like line termination...

This is not a trivial task nor should it be undertaken by somebody who's
afraid to write shell scripts, do binary and string dumps, and figure
things out.  There is not a step-by-step guide on how to do this.
I'm sure that even Veritas Professional Services would undertake a
Windows to Solaris master server migration.

I'd guess that if you're good enough to make it work, you're good enough
to figure it out yourself.  Not a nice answer I know...
