So the test as is will DTRT in, say, 99% of all cases? I suppose that's
good enough.

I'd like the test to incur as little overhead as possible. uname is an
external program, while 'test' is a builtin in most shells.
Also, many of the patches are DJGPP-specific, and uname simply claims
'MS-DOS', which doesn't necessarily mean it's a DJGPP system.
