I discussed this issue a few months ago with Alistair Crooks
(agc@uts.amdahl.com); we decided that the way to do this was to
compare the output of 'uname -v' to version strings sucked from
/*netbsd*.  He sent me a sample script, but some sed/&c. hackery is
required in order to get it to work, and I didn't bother.
Unfortunately I deleted the script, but maybe Alistair still has a
copy.
