There are lots of platforms that are likely to be broken. Unless
someone steps up to maintain them, I think we should be fairly
aggressive in deleting them. After all, if they're broken, no one can
test them, and resurrecting them from old CVS versions is fairly easy
if someone starts to care in the future...
I have a list of platforms gathered from Pci.h and compiler.h, but Kevin
said he had one as well that he'd post along with a call for
maintainers. We should probably aim for having a maintainer list
checked into the tree by 6.9/7.0 release time.
