You use the rule os.name, for example:

import os ;

if [ os.name ] in NT CYGWIN {
build-project platform/win32 ;
}
else {
build-project platform/linux ;
}

There's also a os.on-windows rule.

Unfortunately, I think this is the operating system that bjam is running 
on, not the operating system the build is targeting, so it doesn't work 
when you are cross compiling.
