I agree with your way. In my mind, once the detection (via /proc, and via
complementary tools) is done, the result has to be in a well defined format,
so that, one day, this kind of description could be passed to a kind of
"build daemon" building the ad hoc pieces for this machine, and simple to
parse.
But I must still explore all the work that you've already done in order to
understand correctly where I can help.
