To further clarify this a little: IMO the scripts should be shared by
machines. But this implies consistent MI interfaces in the kernel.

Thus, the current hack is to either use the subdirectories or resort to
things like this (from scripts/sleep_button):

        if /sbin/sysctl machdep.sleep_state >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                /sbin/sysctl -w machdep.sleep_state=3
        else
                sleep 1
                if /etc/rc.d/apmd status >/dev/null ; then
                        /usr/sbin/apm -z
                else
                        /usr/sbin/apm -d -z
                fi
                # ... waking up
                sleep 1
        fi

Obviously, both approaches leave a lot to be desired.
