    AIX filesets are identified by four decimal values: V.R.M.F.
    V (version) and R (release) can be retreived using ``uname``
    Since 2007, starting with AIX 5.3 TL7, the M value has been
    included with the fileset bos.mp64 and represents the Technology
    Level (TL) of AIX. The F (Fix) value also increases, but is not
    relevant for comparing releases and binary compatibility.
    For binary compatibility the so-called builddate is needed.
    Again, the builddate of an AIX release is associated with bos.mp64.
    AIX ABI compatibility is described  as guaranteed at: https://www.ibm.com/\
    support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/install/binary_compatability.html

    For pep425 purposes the AIX platform tag becomes:
    "aix-{:1x}{:1d}{:02d}-{:04d}-{}".format(v, r, tl, builddate, bitsize)
    e.g., "aix-6107-1415-32" for AIX 6.1 TL7 bd 1415, 32-bit
    and, "aix-6107-1415-64" for AIX 6.1 TL7 bd 1415, 64-bit
