s.uname()'), although the exact information
    included depends on the OS; eg. on Linux, the kernel version isn't
    particularly important.

    Examples of returned values:
       linux-i586
       linux-alpha (?)
       solaris-2.6-sun4u

    Windows will return one of:
       win-amd64 (64bit Windows on AMD64 (aka x86_64, Intel64, EM64T, etc)
       win32 (all others - specifically, sys.platform is returned)

    For other non-POSIX platforms, currently just returns 'sys.platform'.
