This looks more like a regression than progress…
The variable `window-system' at least returns a value indicating on which kind of graphic display this instance of GNU Emacs runs: x, w32, ns, pc, mac. These variants still need different set-ups. And it also makes sense to decorate the instance running in different colours to see at once in which variant I'm in.
In future one might need to parse the text returned by `emacs-version' to find this information – and might fail at first because being build for a graphic display does not exclude its use without a windowing system. So one would need a second test.
