# Attempt to find the operating system varient in play. This is mainly
# for use on Linux where the tests that autoconf does do not detect
# which distribution I am using.

# This cose is not properly general. It mostly looks at the file
# /etc/issue (which an administrator could have altered!) and pattern
# matches against the cases I happen to have tested.
