[issue1082] platform system may be Windows or Microsoft since Vista

[Sean Reifschneider]

Sean Reifschneider added the comment:

Attached is a patch that fixes uname() instead of the individual
helpers.  I agree that is the better way to do it.  Again, not tested on
Windows because I don't have it.

What about adding a "isWindows()" sort of method that does the right
thing, or "amIRunningOn('Vista')"?  I suggest the latter because I
imagine the former might just lead to a bunch of "Where is isX()?" for
different platforms.  This could implement the logic so that users don't
have to know the details of this issue.
