I do not see, how this hint can help me. Within
'platform/<platform_dir>/tools/machines.py' I have no means to influence
the mapping between the platform name and its directory as long as
'pistachio/SConscript' handles the interpretation of the symbols
'platform' and 'platform_dir' the way I have described. If I'd have to
change something outside my platform files anyway, then I could well
stay with the change in 'pistachio/SConscript' I have already done.
Since you have agreed that the 'subplatform' approach will not work with
my constraints, I'd appreciate if a solution could be implemented that
allows sharing of a platform directory solely by settings in
'machines.py'.
