I'll let Mark comment on this, since it was his suggestion.  I think
this is one of the cases where the meaning of "system" as the middle
triplet entry is somewhat flexible.  :)

In any case, though, there are a number of things that split the
triplets by matching on the first and second hyphen characters, so (to
produce correct parsing) only the third entry can contain hyphens, and
"powerpc-cell" would not work for an architecture descriptor.

P.S.: Mark, could you also comment on whether MCOE should get
powerpc-mercury-mcoe or powerpc-unknown-mcoe?  I'm not very certain
about that one at all.
