Yes, it is my fault for modifying only automatically generated files.  
A proper patch (which I wrote before your email arrived...) is 
attached.

That certainly is an option.  However, doesn't it defeat the point of 
that whole file?  Files that were in the  os  directory (and being 
with an os_ prefix now) were supposed to be different for each OS, to 
encapsulate these differences.  That said, Gabriele's solution is 
probably the neater option, since all the other OS-dependent files 
are just the Un*x ones.

You did a good job on it, Gabriele.  I can't think of any real 
revisions that are needed.

Cheers,
Lachlan
