[IronPython] Possible IronPython and FePy Issues

[M. David Peterson]

Couldn't you simply check the platform at load time, adapting the behavior
of the DEL to mimic BS when running under OSX?  That, or have a separate
mapping file for each platform that loads at run-time which would also hold
potential to all a more user definable approach for mapping key sequences
and such to user-defined macros.
