Actually, the options have to be expressed as "enable-something" so I've
opted for "--enable-target-this" to enable just the $host target. if you
specify --disable-target-this (the default) then you get whatever
platforms you specify with --enable-target-{targetname}

Does that make sense or do you have a better idea?
