Hmm... it seems to me there are already a bunch of tools that do similar
stuff. Of course there's dmidecode, but that's only part of what you are
trying to do. Yet I can't help but think this could be part of one of
those projects instead:

http://glpi-project.org/
http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/
http://machdb.org/
http://www.onecmdb.org/

Anything specific your tool plans to do that is not covered above?

And is the source code available yet?
