This isn't quite true; uname only changes if the kernel version
changes, so since 10.3.0 and 10.3.1 have the same kernel, uname -r is
still 7.0 under 10.3.1.

You can use the Gestalt function with gestaltSystemVersion, parse
sw_vers output, parse /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist,
and call the private CFCopySystemVersionDictionary (in decreasing
order of supported-ness; nothing other than Gestalt is guaranteed by
Apple to work in future Mac OS X versions).

Code to do the former is here:
