Unfortunately this has been merged before I had a chance to reply. FYI I put 
the code in here to read the files directly on purpose, because most distros 
bundle up the lsb_release tool with all of the LSB dependencies, so if you 
want to set up a headless server without some of the LSB dependencies (which 
include X11) you won't have the lsb_release tool and NATIVELSBSTRING is 
"Unknown". Yes, I know we have this problem with NATIVELSBSTRING already.

Cheers,
Paul
