uname() from kdewin32 returns a more carefully crafted sysname as (example):

"Microsoft Windows"
and release as "5.0 (2000 Professional)"

It's good for general use (more human-friendly) but for user-agent strings I 
believe we need some similarity to UNIX (and to already existing user agents 
on windows like these in Thunderbird) -- "Windows/5.0" is such.
