Just curious: why ?

Yes, you can blame me for using config.guess for the current name. I
didn't (and don't) know a good alternative that can be
machine-generated. I wasn't happy with darwin and its version too.
What would the ideal naming scheme look like ?

    mac-10.3.3-powerpc
    mac-10.3-powerpc
    macosx-10.3.3-powerpc
    osx-10.3.3-powerpc

Would 10.3 be enough ? Or do we need the extra .3 in 10.3.3 ?
And how can one get the 10.3.3 OSX version from darwin ?
