Most Linux distributions contain awk in /usr/bin by default,
not in /bin. This script's suggested use is for creating version
information for bug reporting.
This has been tested on a number of different distributions,
including Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Debian, Centos, Arch Linuxi,
and Poky!

This patch is more of a personal preference, rather than a fix for a problem.
The current implementation used a combination of both 'cat' and 'sed'
to generate an unsorted list of kernel modules separated by while space.
The proposed implementation uses 'sort' and 'sed' to generate a sort
list of kernel modules separated by while space.

'loadkeys -h' no longer prints the version number across all distros,
despite the claim to do so in the manpage, which I found to be the case
on a Debian Linux system.
The proposed implementation utilises the output of 'loadkeys -V' to
acquire the version of both 'Kbd' and 'Console-tools'.

does not seem to come preinstalled in all ditros these days.

of 'util-linux' and 'mount' proper, as 'mount' is also a part of the
'util-linux' package.

These magic greps and hacks in ver_linux to get the gcc version always break after some gcc releases.
Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something )
ver_linux will report random junk for these.
Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always work.

Currently scripts/ver_linux prints "Binutils" or other random
information for the version number in the "binutils" output line
on some distributions. This patch corrects that.
When I initially submitted a patch to correct that, I was not aware
that the output from "ld -v" could differ as much as it turned out
it can, so my original fix turned out to not cover all bases.
This patch works correctly with all the different "ld -v" output
that people posted in replys to my first patch, so it should be a
clear win over what we have currently.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
