glean distro version from /etc/*release

[D. J. Birkett]

I'm writing a script that will be run from a mount point on many 
different linux distros.  I'm just about to code a sub that will try and 
determine the distro (version isn't that important) from the 
/etc/*release file, and just wondered if anyone has already done this, 
or if there is some handy util that I don't know about that will do it 
for me?
