I'd like to commit this patch to be able to fix some PLIST issues
on OpenIndiana. pkgsrc currently detects OpenIndiana as Solaris
instead of Illumos which breaks some packages like lang/go.

Parsing /etc/release always feels incredibly fragile to me, but I guess these distributions don't provide a better way to identify themselves, so the approach is probably ok for now.

However this section should really have the ability to cache NATIVE_OS_VARIANT and NATIVE_LOWER_VARIANT_VERSION if you don't want performance to suck, especially for bulk scans.
