That was a bug, now fixed in CVS.

You have the accessor $windows,

<console>
? help $windows

$windows
Output:     scalar

Returns 1 if gretl is running on MS Windows, otherwise 0. By
conditioning on the value of this variable you can write shell
calls that are portable across different operating systems.
</console>

We don't have a specific indicator for OS X.
