My main concern is, that linux comes in so many flavours, that until
we have some proper way of detecting what is actually there, we never
really know what 'linux' actually means. So if Maintainer foo builds Port bar
fine on linux, there will tons of cases where this software likely won't
build on linux. I think the key is not to come with precise ways of
setting platform, but more generally figure out a good way of determining
what the sytem we're on provides and what it does not provide.
