------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
PlatformID is a very brittle mechanism, as the number of
potential platforms is open-ended.  It shouldn't be 
changed.  The correct way to detect particular flavours 
of non-Windows operating systems under pnet is to inspect 
the following string:

    Environment.OSVersion.ToString()

This will contain the autoconf host identifier whenever
the platform ID is 128.  e.g., on my i386 Linux box it
says this:

    Unix [i686-pc-linux-gnu] 5.1.2600.0

On BeOS, you will probably find "-beos-" or something
similar in there somewhere (the rest of the string is
gunk designed to mimic the MS response and can be
safely ignored).

Patch closed.
