FWIW, we did use to ocasionally write:
PLATFORMS = <names of supported platforms>

This affected attempts to build all apps across all platforms (i.e.,
make in the apps directory) only, but I suspect the right amount of
make magic could automate rejecting make attempts when PLATFORMS is
set. Any volunteer? (this would be simpler and clearer than repeating
appropriate ifneq's in a bunch of Makefiles)
