Docstring for system-type


From: Stefan Monnier
Subject: Docstring for system-type
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 17:41:38 -0500
User-agent: Gnus/5.11 (Gnus v5.11) Emacs/21.3.50 (gnu/linux)

I can never remember which value of `system-type' is used for which system,
so I think the docstring should simply list them.

Any objection/addition/adjustment/clarification ?
