Log Message:
The sys_info script is a small script which will show the version
information for installed utilities.  It also works on the kernel, and
on most libraries.

Its use is as follow:

The -a option can be given to the script to print out the information
on all known components.

The sys_info script also works on libraries, returning their
"versions" as given by the shared object version numbers.
