That was for backwards compatibility, so that `mirage --unix` just does the 
right thing on either Linux or MacOS X.

The `mirage configure --help` says this:

       --unix
           Use Unix backend. Do not use in conjunction with --xen. On MacOS X,
           this will use platform-specific code to be generated. To force pure
           Unix mode on MacOS X, set the -t flag to unix instead.

Did you have somewhere else in mind to update?
