Kernel version, threads sub-library in glibc, lots of minor changes.

Recent revisions of Owl 3 have a file called /etc/owl-release (with some
info inside).  If there's no such file, it's an older version.

Whether you pick Owl 2 or Owl 3, you would still be quite far from what

"settle -d" (dumb terminal mode).
