Thanks for testing.

I think I've fixed all the places where this is a danger. This new 
version also provides a new utility (/usr/lib/csih/winProductName) which 
reports the full Microsoft name of the OS, whether it's "Vista Ultimate" 
or "Server 2008 Datacenter Edition (core installation), 64bit". 
winProductName is extremely dumb: it takes no command line options, and 
there is no help. You just run it and it prints the name to stdout. 
That's it.

Also, two new ID functions that rely on the new tool:

csih_is_exactly_vista
csih_is_exactly_server2008

(I'm sure there are other uses for winProductName, such as is_server() 
etc, but I'll leave that kind of thing to individual scripts -- who can do

   productName=$(csih_invoke_helper winProductName)
   if echo "${productName}" | grep " Server " >/dev/null 2>&1
   then
     do whatever
   fi

themselves, until some particular incantation looks useful and is 
duplicated across various installers. Then I'd put it in csih.)

I'm going to make this current in a few days (assuming no brown bags)...

P.S. cgf or Corinna, two questions: (1) is it possible to create a CVS 
module for this on the cygwin-apps repository, and (2) do you think it 
would be a good idea to do so?
