If systems are very similar its probally better to just add a few
#ifdef's and configure.in checks where necessary instead of bloating
the class hierachie even more.

Anyway, the whole concept behind system.cxx, path_finder.cxx and Co.
is not really usable. What we need is a unified resource management
system, that completly abstracts away from the underlying system and
which allows loading of all resouces Pingus uses (sounds, graphics,
levelfiles, savegames, etc.), not just a few.
