I tried to detect the Web-Servers operating system. Under Windows it's easy
to read the environment variable "OS" (or one of the relatet Server
Varaibles). Under Linux I found the following very strange behaviour:

system("echo \$OSTYPE") correctly returns "linux-gnu" whereas
getenv("OSTYPE") returns nothing

Any idea why the simple getenv-solution does not work. Any simpler solution
than calling the shell "echo"?
