Hmm, we'd better fix this in Cabal before the ghc 6.8 release. We don't want to have people using "os (mingw32)" in Cabal configurations. Neil would kill us :-).

I suggest the os and arch be based off of the enumeration in Distribution.System. So we should add an arch enumeration and fill out the OS enumeration.

I think that, in the long-run at least, it should come from System.Info. See also the thread starting http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2007-August/007885.html Unfortunately I don't think we've reached any sort of concensus yet. Thanks Ian
