How should a port developer set the "platforms" declaration? What is  
its significance? I've generally just been putting "platforms darwin"  
but I see that not only do we have available platforms like "freebsd"  
and "linux" but we also have "macosx". What are the guidelines?

I forgot to set the "platforms" declaration in the isightcapture port  
and it still seems to install just fine, so it can't be too  
essential. Should we just get rid of the "platforms" declaration  
entirely, especially since we no longer support anything other than  
Mac OS X?
