[CMake] Detecting linux distro?

[Kedzierski, Artur CIV NSWC Corona, PA53]

	I had to do that too. I ended up going by distribution-specific
file in /etc. For example, 
Red Hat:   /etc/redhat-release
Slackware: /etc/slackware-version
Slamd64:   /etc/slamd64-version
	To determine whether it is 64-bit vs 32-bit Red Hat, I use 
'uname -m'.

Subject: [CMake] Detecting linux distro?

I'm sure I'm not the first person to need to do this but I can't see
an obvious solution. I want to be able to detect which Linux system
the package is building on, i.e. is it Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, etc?
And also beyond that, what version of the distro is it? (e.g. FC6. F9,
Debian 4.0) Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Stephen Quinney
