yes, that's another option. It just feel weird to my eyes but I guess
that's just me..


So this would be:

"""
[global]
verbose: 1

[setup]
name: MyDistribution
version: 1.0

[setup:sys_platform == 'win32']
requires: pywin32

[setup:sys_platform == 'darwin']
requires: foo

[setup:'linux' in sys_platform]
requires: bar


[foo]
verbose: 1
condition: badababdalolo
""""

I am not including 'requires' in the section like you have previously shown,
since it's a metadata field and since we will probably have other fields
in these section (see PEP 341 proposals like 'obsoles')
