	I also want to know what the distinction here is.

	I'd add either "PowerPC" or "RS/6000" to support the non-mac
PowerPC machines.  To be more specific, I'd use architecture words, and
not vendor words.  Because "PC vs Sun" is not as clear as "x86 vs
Sparc".  What happens when a user has a PC from DEC or HP?  And it'll
take some thinking for a person with a bug on AIX to decide to select
"Macintosh" as the nearest PowerPC box.  For that matter, while they are
older, "Macintosh" would hide distinctions between linux/PPC and
linux/68k.  So I guess I'm suggesting:

@platforms = (
	"All",
	"DEC Alpha",
	"HP PA-RISC",
	"PowerPC",
	"Intel x86",
	"MIPS",
	"Sun Sparc",
	"Other"
);

	As has been said, "INVALID" is already there.
