I guess while we're at it we might as well clear up the meaning of PLATFORM(X) and HAVE(X), as well.

I believe PLATFORM is for large scale questions like "What kind of compiler is this?"

For that specific question we have COMPILER(X). But I think I understand what you're getting at.

It seems to me that we have two conflicting kinds of uses of PLATFORM.

Use 1: Defining whether to use large platform libraries, e.g, PLATFORM(CG), PLATFORM(CF), PLATFORM(CURL) Use 2: Defining a whole "port" or "flavor" of WebKit, e.g., PLATFORM(MAC), PLATFORM(WIN)

It might be beneficial to have separate macros for Use 1 and Use 2.
