Help getting Nicosia to build would be appreciated.

This block is not specific to any platform, so here the ENABLE_SCROLLING_THREAD gets defined for everybody but Cocoa which handles it in PlatformEnableCocoa.h.

Hence, this block does nothing for Nicosia-using ports. If the above block is removed, and ENABLE_SCROLLING_THREAD gets defined to 1 here, everything seems to build and work fine for Nicosia-using ports.

For this patch, I would propose using only this block to define ENABLE_SCROLLING_THREAD (if it was not defined before) to either 0 or 1, depending on USE(NICOSIA). I can swoop in later to introduce PlatformEnable<Port>.h files that handle this for everybody possibly defining USE(NICOSIA), and putting back the above block.

What's odd here is that NICOSIA isn't a platform, nor is it an OS feature, and there is no #define USE_NICOSIA 1 in the header files; it all comes in from cmake. That makes the pattern of #defines in PlatformUse.h a bit weird.
