+ - os.extsep -- a new variable needed by the RISCOS support.  It is the
+   separator used by extensions, and is '.' on all platforms except
+   RISCOS, where it is '/'.  There is no need to use this variable
+   unless you have a masochistic desire to port your code to RISCOS.

    Schwertberger!  See RISCOS/README for more information -- it seems
    that because of the bizarre filename conventions on RISCOS, no port
!   to that platform is easy.  Note that the new variable os.endsep is
!   silently supported in order to make life easier on this platform,
!   but we don't advertise it because it's not worth for most folks to
!   care about RISCOS portability.
