I have implemented platform.js as an OS detection on the static downloads
page: http://static.gimp.org/downloads/

In the first paragraph is some red text that is an attempt at auto
detection.  If you get a moment to test it against various OS and report
back, that would be great (just trying to capture any edge cases at this
point, it mostly appears to work great).

I've been busy these past few days, but intend to get back to work in the
next week or so.  I'll send an update soon to the lists.
