Hi Peter,
The design using enum for the os dependencies does not make it possible
to include only the support needed for a particular platform at build
time.
Every implementation will be carrying around the support for all the
other platforms.
A build time binding would be more efficient.

I think the approach is okay for now [ assuming we find a better name
than "Os" :-) ] but if src/solaris is renamed in JDK 9 to src/unix or
some such name then it provides an opportunity to re-visit this is that
there is a factory per platform in a platform specific tree.
