An earlier version of rosdep allowed the user to override the detected
OS with an environment variable.  Looks like adding it back into
roslib is ticketed: https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/2814 .

In the meantime, you could hack roslib (src/roslib/os_detect.py is
where I would start) to return a different value for your platform.
