The world is not limited to Mac and Linux, this sort of thing can't scale.
Official drivers by Nvidia and ATI are limited to Mac, Linux and Windows. Nvidia has Solaris and FreeBSD drivers drivers as well, so maybe the Linux name should be renamed to non_apple.
I don't think we can come up with scheme that will scale to all future developments. In the near future we maybe should add Mesa to that list(open source ATI driver), but if a future event does big unforseen changes to the driver landscape then we might have to change this table.
I don't see the point of going through all that trouble to return the real driver version on some platforms but not others. Since we have the infrastructure to fake it why not always use that? We'll have to keep it up to date anyway.
