To tell the truth, I'd be much happier if everything like that got put in a header file or some such. 95% of what we figure out by looking at "uname" output can already be learned by looking at the various pre-defined macros.

Fortunately, there's a project devoted solely to this, so most of the tedious research need not be done. It can be found at http://predef.sourceforge.net/
