One idea would be to factor the various issues and provide predicates for
each one of them, like what we did with display-*-p vs window-system.
Then we could have something like system-case-insensitive-filenames-p and
the likes, and we could eliminate many of the system-type tests. The
need for introducing yet another system-type value will then become a
moot point.
But that's a substantial job, so someone will need to step forward and
volunteer. (I can't do it due to total lack of free time, sorry.)
