Distribution.System
Description
Cabal often needs to do slightly different things on specific platforms. You
probably know about the os
however using that is very
inconvenient because it is a string and different Haskell implementations
do not agree on using the same strings for the same platforms! (In
particular see the controversy over "windows" vs "ming32"). So to make it
more consistent and easy to use we have an OS
enumeration.

buildPlatform :: Platform Source
The platform Cabal was compiled on. In most cases,
LocalBuildInfo.hostPlatform
should be used instead (the platform we're
targeting).
