I did this a few years ago - cooked a Windows and two Solaris masters 
down onto one Solaris master. It was non-trivial, there were several 
file conversions, definitely not for the faint of heart. Have your 
Perl/Shell scripting skills handy, because you will need them. Let me 
see if I can dig up my notes. They may be of some help. Caveat: I did 
this under 4.5.
