    -- Return two strings describing the OS name and OS architecture.
    -- For Windows, the OS identification is based on environment variables
    -- On unix, a call to uname is used.
    -- 
    -- OS possible values: Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD, Solaris
    -- Arch possible values: x86, x86864, powerpc, arm, mips
    -- 
    -- On Windows, detection based on environment variable is limited
    -- to what Windows is willing to tell through environement variables. In particular
    -- 64bits is not always indicated so do not rely hardly on this value.
