The driving goal is to provide platform names that are: - relatively short - readable (as much as possible making matching the given name to an actually machine self-explanatory) - be capable enough to produce all names needed to distinguish all platform-specific application builds - generally safe for usage in filenames - not ugly (e.g. "MSWin32" is ugly) </longdescription> </pkgmetadata>
