Hmm. I'm not sure passing a list of platforms is a good idea. People may want 
to write e.g. "'bsd' in platform". Also, there are a lot of platforms we don't 
have access to, so we can't actually maintain a list of platforms.

Also, I really don't like the idea that a missing extension module is a test 
failure. It can be quite annoying to install all build dependencies (why should 
people install tcl/tk if they want to hack on e.g. the logging module?), let's 
not scare people who haven't done so by printing out test failures.
