Comment:
I've just listed all os(...) values occuring in Cabal files within a whole
HackageDB:
osx, darwin,
freebsd, openbsd, netbsd,
linux,
mingw32, win32,
solaris.
For arch(...):
i386, x86_64.
Not sure if it helps, but I'd suggest to remove "Other" option from
enumerations, since it allows to use values that may not be interpreted by
Cabal. Interestingly most values are never used.
May do this and add documentation, if permitted.
Next step would be to email authors of those packages that use unsupported
os() or arch() values.
