I like this idea; I must have not been paying close enough attention to
your other message.  How could it be done, though?  I can see a simple
exression -> expected value scheme working for a lot of things (e.g.,
"$^0 eq 'MacOS'", or "eval { getpwuid };" ), but how would things like
AFS be detectible?
