Description:
------------
On NetWare platform php_uname('n') returns a hardcoded string 'NLM' which is pretty much useless. This is due to the fact that Novell NetWare pupulates the utsname struct different from other Posix platfoms. Nevertheless they have added a bunch of other useful members which return the correct hostname as well as more accurate version infos.
Here's a unified diff against ./ext/standard/info.c which corrects php_uname() for NetWare, and also adds some more useful information:
http://www.gknw.net/test/php_issues/info.c.diff
to verify this proposed patch here's a test script running on PHP 5.2.0 unpatched (NetWare 6.50 SP 6):
http://www.gknw.net/tstphp/phpuname.php
and here's running PHP 5.2.0 patched (NetWare 5.10 SP 8):
http://www.mailkastl.at/tstphp/phpuname.php
as you can see I get here the hostname of the machine, and in addition the NetWare version + SP level, and the libc version too.
Would be great if this patch gets applied.
Thanks!

Applied to 5.2 and HEAD, remains 5.3. I will do it later, no 5.3 tree at hand and low bandwidth here :)
