(14) Replace operating system specific files with operating system specific
modules.

Currently, as illustrated by the apple-extensions module, it is possible to
specify specific Java files that are not compiled on particular operating
systems. So, for example, the files in apple-extensions are only compiled on
Mac OS X, but not on Windows or Linux. This is less than an ideal solution
however, since IDE's do not naturally know about such files and have to be
manually adjusted to have this knowledge. Furthermore, there are other
resources besides Java files that are often operating system specific and can
be large in size. For example, operating system specific native libraries. A
better solution would be to have operating system specific modules that are
only retrieved in the first place. In this way, the IDE problem will be solved
and further this would reduce unnecessary downloads of large operating system
specific files that are not used.
