I see. That would be nice yes.

Now, /bin/arch on my system just shows "i686" for all recent systems. Parsing
/proc/cpuinfo would only work on GNU/Linux systems and cpuid based apps only on
x86. I guess there is no generic way to do this or does anyone know a portable
way? If there's no generic way, what would be better: An OS specific solution or
an architecture specific one?

With friendly regards,
