This is a great oversimplification and would not be correct. For example,
Safari works on Windows. And tons of Mac OS X applications use the
PLATFORM(MAC) version of WebKit, not just Safari.

PLATFORM(MAC) is about having WebKit on top of Mac OS X frameworks like AppKit.
The Chromium port is peculiar because it's WebKit on Mac OS X, but striving to
not be on top of something like AppKit because of the particular architecture
of the Chrome browser, and instead of being on top of the OS frameworks, it's
on top a special Chromium layer.

We do have a plan to fix the platform macros and make various more specific
names, which should solve this problem. Maciej Stachowiak sent mail to
webkit-dev a couple months ago about it. But PLATFORM(SAFARI) would be terrible
and a step in the wrong direction!
