Re: Platform string

[Shawn Ferry]

I can't think of an "automatic" way to do it, but the following
should work. 

control:

        sunos_sun4u_5_7::
                OS = ( 5.7 )
                arch = ( sun4u )

        sunos_sun4m_5_8::
                OS = ( 5.8 )
                arch = ( sun4m )

or possibly a bit more easily extensible:

        sun4m::
                arch = ( sun4m )
        sun4u::         
                arch = ( sun4u )

        sunos_5_7::
                OS = ( 5.7 )    

        sunos_5_8::
                OS = ( 5.8 )
