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.
