You can test the $(JAMUNAME) variable to see which OS, machine, version, 
etc. you are on. It mirrors the output of "uname", so the third item 
tells you the darwin kernel version. For me, on 10.2, it has: "Darwin" 
"six" "6.8" <long descriptive string> "Power Macintosh". To test it you 
would do something like:

if $(JAMUNAME[3]) == "6.8"
{
     ...
}

HTH.
