We can.
Even beter, alternatively I'd propose KProtocolManager::SystemInformation:

<code>
struct SystemInformation {
	QString name;
	QString version;
	QString machine;
}

static bool static SystemInformation getSystemInformation();
</code>

-avoid calling system-level function 3 times, and then checking the result 3 
times in the user's code
-give up with checking result (uname() wouldnt fail on UNIX, and 
GetVersionEx() wouldnt fail on Windows)
