I think that setup dates from the Sourceforge days when we didn't have
keywords or the ability to add our own fields. Would it make sense to
put a request on the metatracker to convert these to keywords now that
they're available? Or even a separate OS field with "Windows, Mac OS X,
Linux, *BSD, Other" as the options?

While there is some Windows and Mac specific code, treating them as
separate components seems fairly unintuitive.

Cheers,
Nick.
