Recommendation for the procedure to add platform packages

I found this
"Compile on all operating systems and compilers that the platform targets."
to be a little confusing. HP 2009.2.0.2 for Windows does include
Win32 (providing System.Win32). Of course there's not much point in
including Win32 in HP for a Unix platform. I assume the same is true
for unix (providing System.Posix), but in the opposite direction, so
to speak. It would be a shame to not include these two
_platform-specific_ packages in HP.
OTOH, maybe I'm not using the word "compile" in the correct sense...
Would a platform-specific package qualify if building it on _other_
platforms resulted in a successful build, but with empty output?
