Is the list of possible values of `system-type' given by
"(elisp)System Environment" complete? The text sounds as if this is
exhaustive list, but then what is the value defined by the NextSTEP
port? If `system-type' is not the way to distinguish the NextSTEP
port from other platforms, then what is? is it `(featurep 'ns)'? if
so, we should state that in NEWS, IMO.

Yes.

Depends: if it's running under Mac OS X, it'll be `darwin', if it's
running under GNU/Linux it'll be `gnu/linux', ...

window-system?

`darwin' is not in that list. Should it be added?
Also, what with all the other Unixoid systems (which I presume we
still support), like *BSD, Solaris, etc.?

That would fail under -nw, I think. I used `(featurep 'ns)', which
works, according to David Reitter.

Yes. It's in the docstring.

As the docstring explains: "Anything else indicates some sort of
Unix system."

Under -nw you shouldn't have to (need to) worry about nextstep.
At least, it seems no different than it was with Carbon before (or with
X11, ...).

That's okay for a docstring, but I think the manual needs an
exhaustive list.

I won't oppose it, but I don't see a need for it.

I updated the list in os.texi with the currently supported system.
