Actually, I think you need a combo of both  $tcl_platform(platform) and  
  $tcl_platform(os) to cover all the supported situations.  This is what  
is at the top of u_main.tk:

if { $tcl_platform(platform) == "windows" }  {
          set pd_nt 1
} elseif { $tcl_platform(os) == "Darwin" } {
          set pd_nt 2
} else {
          set pd_nt 0
}

We don't need to treat different versions of Windows differently  
($tcl_platform(platform)== "windows"), but for Darwin/Mac OSX,   
($tcl_platform(platform) == "unix"), but that OS needs to be handled  
very differently than GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, etc. which are also  
($tcl_platform(platform) == "unix").
