Ah, interesting. I've added support for this official source now, too.
I'm using "sw_vers" and manually fetching via "defaults". So, please

more test round: run again the attached "shtool" script with "shtool
platform --type=all-in-one" on as much different Darwin and MacOS boxes
as you can and show me the outputs.
Here you have four examples, don't have any 64-bit versions
unfortunately.

Might a be a space or two too many for Mac OS X, but otherwise
it is looking good I think ? (OpenDarwin is unfortunately dead)
