#
# This is a simple alternative to /usr/bin/lsb_release which
# doesn't require python.
#
# If /etc/lsb-release exists then we use that to output data
# in a compatible format to the original lsb_release utility.
#
# I consider this script trivial enough to be in the public-domain,
# but any patches or suggestsions will be welcome.
