Yes, I think we would find it quite useful. In fact, more useful
than @sys which doesn't help us very much since it doesn't change
with every O.S. release and we sometimes need to differentiate
(i.e., pmax_ul4 wasn't changed until Ultrix v4.3 (to pmax_ul43)).
Typically, this happens you need Frobozz v18.12 for Ultrix 4.1,
but Frobozz v19.32 for Ultrix 4.2.
