Hmmm. On the other hand I do not like the idea to stuff the
whole machine-type-detection logic into each and every package.
Which is why you have a library (be it kudzu, hal, or whatever your
hardware abstraction layer library of the week happens to be) and ensure
that *it* can do the probing for you. Then you just have to have the
package know what it cares about and see if there's any available.
