		 * which, apparently, is something that all distributions
		 * with systemd have, which seems to mean "most distributions"
		 * these days.  It also has a list of several of the assorted
		 * *other* such files that various distributions have.
		 *
		 * Maybe look at what pre-version-43 systemd does?  43
		 * removed support for the old files, but I guess that
		 * means older versions *did* support them:

		 *
		 * At least on my Ubuntu 7 system, /etc/debian_version
		 * doesn't contain anything interesting (just some Debian
		 * codenames).  It does have /etc/lsb-release.  My Ubuntu
		 * 22.04 system has /etc/lsb-release and /etc/os-release.
		 *
		 * My Fedora 9 system has /etc/fedora-release, with
		 * /etc/redhat-release and /etc/system-release as symlinks
		 * to it.  They all just contain a one-line relase
		 * description.  My Fedora 38 system has that, plus
		 * /etc/os-release.
		 *
		 * A quick Debian 3.1a installation I did has only
		 * /etc/debian_version. My Debian 11.3 system has
		 * /etc/os-release.
		 *
		 * See
		 *
		 *	https://gist.github.com/natefoo/814c5bf936922dad97ff
		 *
		 * for descriptions of what some versions of some
		 * distributions offer.
		 *
		 * So maybe have a table of files to try, with each
		 * entry having a pathname, a pointer to a file parser
		 * routine, and a pointer to a string giving a
		 * parameter name passed to that routine, with entries
		 * for:
		 *
		 *   /etc/os-release, regular parser, "PRETTY_NAME"
		 *   /etc/lsb-release, regular parser, "DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION"
		 *   /etc/system-release, first line parser, NULL
		 *   /etc/redhat-release, first line parser, NULL
		 *   /etc/fedora-release, first line parser, NULL
		 *   /etc/centos-release, first line parser, NULL
		 *   /etc/debian_version, first line parser, "Debian"
		 *   /etc/SuSE-release, first line parser, NULL
		 *   /etc/slackware-version:, first line parser, NULL
		 *   /etc/gentoo-release, first line parser, NULL
		 *   /etc/antix-version, first line parser, NULL
		 *
		 * Each line is tried in order.  If the open fails, go to
		 * the next one.  If the open succeeds but the parser
		 * fails, close the file and go on to the next one.
		 *
		 * The regular parser parses files of the form
		 * <param>="value".  It's passed the value of <param>
		 * for which to look; if not found, it fails.
		 *
		 * The first line parser reads the first line of the file.
		 * If a string is passed to it, it constructs a distribution
		 * name string by concatenating the parameter, a space,
		 * and the contents of that line (iwth the newline removed),
		 * otherwise it constructs it from the contents of the line.
		 *
		 * Fall back on just "Linux" if nothing works.
		 *
		 * Then use the uname() information to indicate what
		 * kernel version the machine is running.
		 *
		 * XXX - for Gentoo, PRETTY_NAME might not give a version,
		 * so fall back on /etc/gentoo-release?  Gentoo is
		 * a rolling-release distribution, so what *is* the
		 * significance of the contnets of /etc/gentoo-release?
		 *
		 * XXX - MX appears to be a Debian-based distribution
		 * whose /etc/os-release gives its Debian version and
		 * whose /etc/mx-version and /etc/antix-version give
		 * the MX version.  Are there any other Debian derivatives
		 * that do this?  (The Big One calls itself "Ubuntu"
		 * in PRETTY_NAME.)
		 *
		 * XXX - use ID_LIKE in /etc/os-release to check for,
		 * for example, Debian-like distributions, e.g. when
		 * suggesting how to give dumpcap capture privileges?
