+1 from me.  If we could turn the clock back 5 or 6 years, I would also
do the same on Linux.

Note that I share Marc-André's dim view of tacking the first digit of
the kernel version number (or whatever) onto sys.platform -- the
Distutils has Yet Another way of creating platform descriptions.  It's
more complex than sys.platform, but quite a lot less fancy than
Marc-André's platform.py.

See distutils.util.get_platform(), if you're curious.
