 What about writing
 {{{
       let sysInfo = Cc["@mozilla.org/system-info;1"]
                       .getService(Ci.nsIPropertyBag2);
       let osVersion = sysInfo.getProperty("version");
 }}}
 just as
 {{{
       let osVersion = Services.sysinfo.getProperty("version");
 }}}
 ? If that is not an option then using `nsIPropertyBag` should be enough as
 we only need `getProperty()`.

 And, yes, detecting 64/32 bit via `BUILD_TARGET` should do the trick, nice
 catch.
