Is there a way to detect from inside a package that MikTeX is used?

We have multiple people writing on the same project. Since some of us are TeX Livers and other MiKTeXers, I was curious if there was some way to check within a TeX file, with which LaTeX/pdfLaTeX distribution one is compiling? I have been fairly successful using ifplatform to remove some issues between Linux and Windows compilations, but am still facing some problems between MiKTeX and TeX Live.

Although, in my opinion a cross platform and cross TeX system compatible compilation may be a bit over the top...

As linked by @Qrrbrbirlbel, you can test whether \pdftexbanner contains MiKTeX or TeX Live. Martin's answer discusses detection of both. – Werner Oct 17 '12 at 20:58
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Thanks! – Markus Oct 17 '12 at 21:00
