If it's varying for pretty much every OS, and the problem is that android 
doesn't match what linux does but is considered linux, then maybe there should 
be an android version and then either android isn't linux, or it's both linux 
and android, and we just do like we do with Posix and put the more specific one 
first in the version lists.
