As Eu ports for other platforms may follow, how about
extending platform() like this :

sequence s
s = extended_platform()

s[OSFAMILY] = "Unix","Dos","Windows","MacOS"
s[OSNAME] = "Windows","FreeBSD","Linux","OpenBSD","AIX","MacOS","MacOS X"...
s[OSVERSION] = xx.yy
s[ARCHITECTURE] = "mc68000","i386","IA-64","PowerPC"...
s[BYTE_ORDER] = BIG_ENDIAN,LITTLE_ENDIAN
...
