At least within a 32-bit OS (in a VM) it appears to be i686-linux so I 
think we're safe there.

Also, thanks for the hint on 1.size I didn't know that one--it's 
integrated now [v 0.6.1].  That wouldn't work for jruby (which always 
returns 8), but should work fine for MRI, and I think we handle jruby 
ok.

I also added a .mac? method--if anybody on a mac could try it out 
[and/or tell me what the RUBY_PLATFORM is for OS X and OS X 64 bit] then 
I could actually test it.

Re: OS.bits on a 32 within a 64...anybody know how you can tell that 
you're on 64 bit running a 32 bit ruby, on windows [or linux]?

Thanks.
