Ah great I didn't know this, so now is
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defconst linux nil)
(defconst mac nil)
(defconst win nil)
(defconst other nil)
(case system-type
(gnu/linux (setq linux t))
(window-nt (setq mac t))
(darwin (setq win t))
(t (setq other t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But maybe could be even better, what if I create the symbol only if
really needed?
Then I could do
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(if (boundp linux)...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
which probably becomes even longer.
Isn't there a way to automatically define functions or variables?
