Ah.  I suspected this might be the case and searched the language
docs before posting, but couldn't find any mention of this so I
thought I'd ask.

I like the idea of a file per platform, and am undecided whether
I prefer this or the publishing solution.  This one sounds more
flexible, but it may be more difficult to produce installs that
contain only the files relevant to some particular platform.
