By the way, can we document this "uname_R on MacOS X" business

Subject: config.mak.uname: add hint on uname_R for MacOS X

I always have to scratch my head every time I see this cryptic
pattern "[15678]\."; leave a short note to remind the maintainer
and the reviewers.

Otherwise looks good. Mac OS X 10.1.0 doesn't actually fit the pattern (it's still Darwin 1.*), but it's so old and it doesn't affect the 10.4.* or older test (or the later 10.1.* or older test), so let's just ignore that anomaly. :)
