Having looked at it, it's not sufficient. When run on, say, Solaris, I
want to try in order:
Foo::Bar::Solaris
Foo::Bar::Unix
Foo::Bar
Devel::CheckOS can't apply this ordering. I could get a list of all
possible supported names, then filter that by what this machine is.
I'm sure I recall in some code somewhere, the use of a list of possible
OS family names, from most to least specific, keyed by $^O. I'm thinking
something more like that would be best.
