Perhaps what is needed is a program like 'autoconf' on Pyramid's
DC/OSx (their SVR4 alike)  It prints out *everything* the OS knows
about the hardware config, and the drivers, etc.  It also has a
flag to output a machine parsable version instead of something more
human readable.  All their install scripts grep through the output
of autoconf to find things...

Just a thought,
