Maybe it should be used only when the egg is platform-specific, since
we have only a few eggs in this situation.  If "(platform ...)" is
ommited, it means that the egg is platform-independent.  Otherwise, as
far as I understand, we'd have to fill the "(platform ...)" section
with every supported platform when the egg is platform-independent.

What do you think?
