Most Linux distributions contain awk in /usr/bin by default,
not in /bin. This script's suggested use is for creating version
information for bug reporting.
This has been tested on a number of different distributions,
including Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Debian, Centos, Arch Linuxi,
and Poky!

This patch is more of a personal preference, rather than a fix for a problem.
The current implementation used a combination of both 'cat' and 'sed'
to generate an unsorted list of kernel modules separated by while space.
The proposed implementation uses 'sort' and 'sed' to generate a sort
list of kernel modules separated by while space.

'loadkeys -h' no longer prints the version number across all distros,
despite the claim to do so in the manpage, which I found to be the case
on a Debian Linux system.
The proposed implementation utilises the output of 'loadkeys -V' to
acquire the version of both 'Kbd' and 'Console-tools'.

The current implementation relies on 'fdformat' to output the version of
'util-linux'. This does not seem to be reliable any longer, as 'fdformat'
does not seem to come preinstalled in all ditros these days.
The proposed implementation uses 'mount' to output both the version
of 'util-linux' and 'mount' proper, as 'mount' is also a part of the
'util-linux' package.
