Umm, I have several Linux installs available to me - which I'll
gladly try to build binaries on for you.  There is one problem
though.  I have no clue what version of Linux is installed - and
never really cared.  Without rebooting, how can I tell if this is
Ubunto, or Gentoo, or Redhat, or CentOS, or Fedora, or
the_latest_flavor_of_the_week_version_1_cause_we_are_so_disorganized
?

A command like "/sbin/wtflinuxflavor" would be really nice, all it
needs to do is "echo You're running XXX" or
"printf You're running ZZZ"

Think I'll put the newest hire on that ...
