Added. Now it prints:

# 1.1.5: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.26 x86_64 Debian lenny/sid ext3

I added Linux distro checks for printing the first line from:

/etc/redhat-release
/etc/SuSE-release
/etc/mandriva-release
/etc/fedora-release
/etc/debian_version

First however it checks for /etc/lsb-release and if it exists, prints
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION contents. I guess Ubuntu is the only distro
currently using that file..

The filesystem is looked up by getting the mount information for the
directory in mail_location. That's not correct in all setups, but
probably correct for most.

Any other suggestions that I could add before 1.1.6 release, which I'm
really trying to release today? :)
