Version & Distribution identification

[Fred Harju]

I think that keeping all this info to one file and filename is a good idea just
to help keep things a little easier to maintain.
The keys mentioned below would work well along with the DISTRIBUTOR_ID &
LSB_VERSION  keys added that Christopher and Karl spec'd out.

cheers,
Fred.
