[TYPO3-core] RFC: fix problems with uname (#3326)

[rupert germann]

Hi Masi,

I tried to test this but the only older php version I found was a 4.1.2 on a 
windows machine. On this machine I was not able to log in the BackEnd with 
TYPO3 4.0 at all (no error message it simply reloads the login screen, the 
install tool worked fine)

So, what actually is the lowest PHP version we require for 4.0?
the readme-txt says "...is based upon PHP4..." no version information.

greets
rupert
