There used to be, but we're moving away from it. If there's not a simple
hook you can use (as above), the thing to do is to put the appropriate
conditionals in the patch, so that the single, patched codebase does
what you want it do on all platforms. That way, the original author
might accept your patches and make all our work that much easier.
