Update summary:
  This minor update to ifplatform corrects its behaviour under LuaTeX, 
  in which it no longer relies on -shell-escape to detect the platform.

Basic package information, as sent by the contributor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: /macros/latex/contrib/ifplatform
Authors: Will Robertson; Johannes Große
License: lppl
Caption: Conditionals to test which platform is being used.
Description: This package uses the (La)TeX extension '-shell-escape' to
  establish whether the document is being processed on a Windows or on a
  Unix-like system (Mac OS X, Linux, etc.), or on Cygwin (Unix
  environment over a windows system).

   Booleans provided are:

      *'\ifwindows',

      *'\iflinux',

      *'\ifmacosx' and

      *'\ifcygwin'.

   The package also preserves the output of 'uname' on a Unix-like
  system, which may be used to distinguish between various classes of
  Unix systems.
