This is a documentation bug: Sys.os_type is supposed to return "Unix" on
all
variants of Unix, including MacOS X. It will return "MacOS" only on MacOS
9.

I've fixed the doc.

Thanks, that's what I figured. I had hoped to use os_type to find out if
the file system was case insensitive (true for OS X unlike most Unix) but
I guess that's not very dependable anyway.

I've built ocaml 3.04 on mac os 10.1. I find that Sys.os_type is "Unix", not
"MacOS" as stated in the documentation.
