     Limit the number of targets the VNC platform plugin is be built for

     The VNC platform plugin is a port from the 4.8 code, which only
     supported embedded Linux.  Right now that is the only platform this 
is
     tested with so unless there is a need for other platforms to be 
hosting
     applications over VNC we should limit it to only being built on unix
     platforms that are not Android, or Darwin.
