[Scons-dev] Distinguishing Debian and Fedora

[Russel Winder]

SCons has a way of distinguishing Windows, OSX, and Linux, but assumes
all Windows are the same, all OSX are the same and all Linux are the
same. Whilst assuming all Windows and all OSX are the same, trying to
assume all Linux are the same can be seriously problematic.

I wonder it it is time to replace the current way of distinguishing
platforms for an enum or two instead of using strings?

Enum and IntEnum are part of Python 3.4+ and there is the enum34
package to backport to Python 2.7.
