I don't think that's too practical. The reader sees the metadata only
after it already started to read the form it should then ignore, if the
platform doesn't match.

Yet another option is to use plain macros, and arbitrary test
expressions instead of just keywords. For example, I have some jvm
clojure code where I use the ForkJoin classes if available and fall back
to executor services if not. One could consider a clojure.platform
namespace with standard, frequently used predicates.
Something along the lines of:
(cond-compile
(platform-jvm? ">=1.7.0") ...
(platform-jvm?) ...
(platform-clr?) ...
:else (throw (Exception.
(format "Sorry, frobnification not supported on %s" *platform*))))
