    6 In the webkit-gtk portfile (which provoked this), I note the line "platform powerpc {". If this is only invoking options based on the compile time CPU, would a line like "target powerpc {" for the runtime CPU, be a base solution by providing a way of implementing patches and flags required when there is sometimes a difference between compile & execute CPUs?
