Good point.  If anything _does_ end up needing to be changed, some bits
need to be added to configure.in and a backend in src/backends/ needs to
be created for whichever specific distribution.  People usually just
copy the NetworkManagerRedHat.c or the NetworkManagerSuse.c file and
modify as needed.
