I've noticed that there are a _LOT_ of distribution specific procedures in network.pl - and since the goal of the project is to support as many *nix variants as possible, it's only going to grow.

the only reason for not doing this is for not having tenths of files,
one per distro, but you're right in that the network backend files are
getting bigger and bigger, I'll try to separate things and see how it
works.

regarding to the "dinamic file including", my feeling is to keep the
hash mapping, I'll try to poke around too
