If you use the fields mentioned in 1.1, Distutils will automatically
set the metadata version
in the PKG-INFO for you. That said, we are currently re-thinking this
part (see the archive
in this mailing list about PEP 345)

What do you need to define ? Most of the time, people use the trove classifiers.

Take a look at the Trove classifiers, to see if your platform is not
listed there. (under Operating System :: )
