R Extensions (Section 1.1.1, and using the 2.9.2 version) says
The optional `OS_type' field specifies the OS(es) for which the

`windows', and indicates that the package should only be installed
on a
platform with `.Platform$OS.type' having that value.
and I am wondering if 'OS_type: unix' includes OS X or not. I am
currently
updating RInside which builds on the two unixy OS variants. Would I
exclude
OS X by picking OS_type: unix ? I don't think so but maybe this
could be
made more explicit in the paragraph above.

Dirk,
On OSX:

[1] "unix"
Remember that OSX is a BSD Unix derivative.
