PDE/Build resolves the state once for all environments
at the same time. Previously multi-platform export was done by re-resolving
the target for each environment and essentially performing N exports. In 3.5 we changed export do be a single multi-environment
resolution done by PDE/Build. This greatly simplified things on build's side for integrating
with p2.
