Everytime I see these zero-only platform definitions it makes we think 
we really should have these isolated into a zero-specific file. At the 
moment this can paint a false picture that all these platforms have full 
OpenJDK ports available.

I also wonder if the values here can be reliably obtained via 
uname/sysconf or some such utility so that we don't have to list every 
single platform individually?

Thanks,
David
