Summary: Windows sysDescr always unknown

Initial Comment:
The sysDescr of the Net-SNMP running on Windows is
always "unknown".  Currently system_mib.c only checks
if the uname function exists.  On windows it must be
done differently since there is no uname function.

I suggest the windows net-snmp agent calls these
Windows functions: GetSystemInfo() for processor
information and GetVersionEx() for operating system
info.  Of course gethostname() for the hostname.

Here is the microsoft MSDN website for system information:

I have submitted a patch which will form a sysDescr on
Windows similar to "uname -a".  Not sure if the preprocessor
checking is okay, since we really need a #define for
HAVE_WINDOWS_H.
Also the code for the Windows version checking is long, so
it probably should be placed in a separate function.

I've also modifed system_mib.c to grab the default
sysContact from the registered user of the registry.  Makes
setup a little more automatic.

Eric, If you can provide a patch, the bug will be resolved
that much sooner.

Cheers,
