uname -s question

[Jason Tishler]

Does anyone use the information, that starts with the "_" in "uname -s"?
For example on NT 4.0, I'm referring to the "_NT-4.0".

My only "use" is to excise it during tests for Cygwin in things like
the following:

    autoconf (i.e. sh) scripts
    bash scripts
    makefiles
    python scripts

It is probably too late and quite naive to ask but...  Can this
information be removed to facilitate testing for Cygwin?

Thanks,
Jason
