I'd also prefer a shellscript because it has no dependencies on the
sage build process.  uname is defined by POSIX so it should be
possible to get general output using system-independent code (though
the actual strings reported may vary from OS to OS).  CPU and memory
information is more OS-dependent but it shouldn't be too difficult to
write a script (with system-dependent bits) to extract this
information.
