Any chance of a BSD constant?

I'm a huge FreeBSD fan (best server OS ever) but never really used Euphoria on it for whatever reason until now. However, I've run into a problem with a script I wrote. This script does some security related stuff and needs to open a .so file. Sadly, on BSD I use a more reliable library than the one that Linux has but I need the script to work on both platforms but platform() returns LINUX for both. I had a workaround that used certain files in the filesystem heirarchy to determine the OS but I intend to use this on BSD as a jailed process and don't want to have to allow access to certain directories just to determine the platform. So, is there any chance of having a BSD constant for use by platform() for those of us that are developing for both BSD and Linux at a level where they differ?
