Mostly, I'm just interested in understanding how to update
setuptools' platform API functions:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#platform-utilities
In particular, the difference here between the supported platform vs.
build platform, and how to tell whether two platform strings are compatible.
Setuptools uses these functions to know what eggs will work on the
current system, as well as what filenames to build eggs with.
