[Vm-dev] Moving build.* files under platforms/$OS/$ISA

[K K Subbu]

Eliot,

The build.* files at the top level are crowding out the main code 
directories and it will only get worse with more platforms joining in.

Wouldn't it be better to move them under platforms/$OS/$ISA/ with a 
shorter name? E.g.
    build.linux32x64 ->platforms/unix/x64/build

A Makefile at the top level can detect the platform and switch to the 
respective sub-directory for the build. The products can also be 
generated under the respective platform dirs leading to simpler names 
like cogspur instead of cogspurlinuxht etc.

I am not sure if this option has been considered before.
