I haven't checked what's already there, but perhaps PRETTY_NAME
from /etc/os-release if available, or even some more of the fields?
That would seem useful for Linux builds at least, they're not all alike.

Yeh, I was already looking at this through OS_VARIANT, but the required changes to bsd.prefs.mk are too invasive for me to pursue right now, so I think this is a reasonable compromise.

I've added PRETTY_NAME, I think that'll be sufficient for now.
