Yeah, that comment was written by me. Because the obvious next step
would be to set platform ID for extensions in configure too (platform ID
is $(RTL_OS)_$(RTL_ARCH) converted to lower case. There is no handy
function for lower case conversion of a string in GNU make).

The values are determined by sal/source/rtl/macro.hxx . So what is
needed is to map the possible configurations from here on the platform
specific settings in configure.in at line 2975.

I wanted to create one at that time, but then I was too lazy to check
what it would involve :-)
