This isn't portable to OSX/Darwin. Is there a chance this information can be obtained some other way, or not invoked on darwni? -- Randal L.

The following seems to work but is quite yucky, and I prefer somebody to come up with a better alternative. ------------ Makefile: 'uname -o' is not portable.

I mean, when you know it's Darwin, no point in checking if it's OpenBSD. :) -- Randal L.
