I disagree.
OSVERSION should be discouraged, and detection used instead.  OSVERSION
should only be used as a last resort.  Once Modula3 builds on DragonFly,
I'll probably make this IGNORE valid for both systems in which case
OSVERSION is completely inappropriate.

How OSVERSION is to be handled has been an ongoing discussion with
portmgr, so I'm hoping the new blood there can help come up with a
sensible policy to define when this platform-dependent variable can and
shouldn't be used.
