On the system level, we need to talk about Darwin. And the
version information is crucial, as the platform is evolving
rapidly.

So, for example:

powerpc-darwin-5.3
i386-darwin-5.3

>From our point of view, Mac OS X is basically Darwin with
extra libraries, headers, applications etc. These differences
don't, in my opinion, warrant using a different platform
name. Instead, there needs to be another way to establish
dependencies (ie. "requires CoreGraphics" or "requires
AppleScript"). I suspect there's a similar requirement
for the Windows platform.
