That's more than valgrind.  Specifically, it includes solaris, which is 
where we happen to run Purify most often (better results than win32).

While I agree that Rational was terrible to deal with, Purify is the

remove something from the distribution while it provides benefit to 
some people, while not affecting those who don't wish to use it.
