 There is more information about the system or about the package or
 configuration that we could include into a generated module.

 For example:

  * OS name (from standard enum names, not System.Info.os)
  * Arch name (similarly)
  * Compiler used for build
  * Package version (perhaps moved out of the `Paths_` module)
  * Other .cabal file package details (as Strings)
     * `x-foo` extension fields
     * license enum
     * authors, copyright
     * synopsis / description
     * home page, bug report url
     * configuration flag values
  * System details
     * big or little endian
  * Revision control context
     * git hash
     * darcs context
