I believe PLATFORM is for large scale questions like "What kind of  
compiler is this?"

And HAVE is for smaller scale questions like "Does this particular  
header/feature exist?"

There should be a relatively small number of PLATFORM settings with  
broad meaning and a larger number of smaller HAVE settings, reflecting  
more specific details of the platforms.
