This adds into the system a utility for detecting what kind of system we are on. The utility provides a global variable ompi_system_info that contains information on the operating system, release and version, machine architecture, and network node name. I'll provide additional documentation via Doxygen once I figure out how to put it into the .h file.

Code was reviewed by Jeff - thanks Jeff!
