We can support something like this:
osf version { "Linux:2.4", "Windows\*" }
where the wildcard specifies any Windows version.
We need a new set type though, to deal with strings.

Not sure we want this level of granularity. Matching the version
without no OS genre does not look useful when I look at how the osf
engine works. I'd prefer we go for the first approach you have
mentioned here above.
