Package: xstd
Version: 3.1.2
Revision: 1

linux.cf has stuff in it like:

#define OSName                  Linux
#define OSVendor                /**/
#define OSMajorVersion          1
#define OSMinorVersion          2
#define OSTeenyVersion          1

Of course, this won't change as the system is upgraded.

I think we could at least provide for recognizing the version of the
running kernel...  [Obviously, cross-compilation introduces too many
options to be dealt with automatically.]

I suppose it would be really ideal to have a gnu configure script set
up to build linux.cf...
