Modules that provide OS-specific behaviors often need to know if the current operating system matches a more generic type of operating systems. For example, linux is a type of Unix operating system and so is freebsd.

This module provides a mapping between an operating system name as given by $^O and a more generic type. The initial version is based on the OS type mappings provided in Module::Build and ExtUtils::CBuilder (thus, Microsoft operating systems are given the type Windows rather than Win32).
