Identify Intel processor under 2.6.1

[Mark Smith]

Thanks! I think it's quite interesting that the solutions we find  
often reflect the kind of things we've been doing. Because I've been  
doing a lot of playing around with binary data (audio files, iPod  
dictionaries, id3 tags), the question of endianness has been quite  
prevalent. So I saw the problem in terms of endianness. I guess you  
saw the problem in terms of 'systems', and extracting available  
data...both work, but in this case, the binary approach is a little  
more, well, terse :)

Best,

Mark
