On UNIX, we have the 'uname' command that returns the necessary
information (with some additional regex editing):
# uname -sr
SunOS 5.8
Also, GNU tools usually come with a program "config.guess" which works
on many platforms, so we might hijack some of their code:
# config.guess
sparc-sun-solaris2.8
I don't know about Windows, but I'd guess that analogous functionality
exists to distinguish between Windows flavours.
