>Cabal often needs to do slightly different things on specific platforms. You
 probably know about the <TT
><A HREF="../base/System-Info.html#v%3Aos"
>os</A
></TT
> however using that is very
 inconvenient because it is a string and different Haskell implementations
 do not agree on using the same strings for the same platforms! (In
 particular see the controversy over <A HREF="windows.html"
>windows</A
> vs <A HREF="ming32.html"
>ming32</A
>). So to make it
 more consistent and easy to use we have an <TT
