That sounds like a reasonable approach.  Alternately, you could 
use X86/ARM, since OS X only runs on x86 now and iOS on ARM, 
which would be easier since those architecture keywords already 
exist, but perhaps not future-proof if Apple ever releases that 
ARM-based OS X laptop. ;) Darwin and iOS aren't in the predefined 
global versions in dmd's cond.c, so you might want to add them if 
you use those.
