Sure. I'll do that. I shoul open an issue along the lines of "AIX:
cleanup stdlib and tests and how sys.platform is utilized".

But, should I just continue standard practice (sys.platform), or would
this be a moment to move towards platform.system() (i.e., set the
example to be to use "run-time" rather than "build-time").
