I've agreed with Duncan so far.  I'd like to note that its possible to
add a string constant that contains the OS name/version/etc.,
completely separate from the enumeration.  I vote for having the
enumeration as Duncan's suggested, plus this separate string constant
(maybe, OSString or OSVersion or something similar).
