A 2005 posting on this list suggested inverting the test, which makes
the Magic Numbers go away:
	using System;

	PlatformID id = Environment.OSVersion.Platform;
	if(   id == PlatformID.Win32NT
	   || id == PlatformID.Win32S
	   || id == PlatformID.Win32Windows
	   || id == PlatformID.WinCE)
	{
	    Console.WriteLine ("NOT running on Unix");
	}
	else
	{
	    Console.WriteLine ("Running on Unix");
	}

This is probably still working, but I haven't tried it.  Your mileage may vary.
