Mmm, that's probably the best way to do it. (Better still,
wherever possible check features rather than OS type).

It does mean that more minor BSD variants like DragonFly are
in a worse place, because nobody much is going to care about
supporting them, and they can't get automatic support by
being "like all of the others".
