That would be great, I was thinking about the same thing.
And I was also thinking that perhaps we could from inside Lisaac code
ask for the value of some .lip variables.

For example if in make.lip we have:

  + is_win32 :BOOLEAN := FALSE;
  + is_unix  :BOOLEAN := TRUE;
  + os_kernel  :STRING := "Linux";     // uname
  + os_name    :STRING := "GNU/Linux"; // uname -o
  + os_version :STRING := "2.6.29";    // uname -r
  + platform   :STRING := "i386"       // uname -i
  ...

We could write in Lisaac (.li files, not .lip files):

    (PROJECT.get_string_variable "os_name" == "Linux").if ...
