The tricky part is I am looking for a solution that works all the way
back to 10.2 and above. The command line system_profiler doesn't exist
on 10.2. sysctl doesn't provide a nice enough readable string. The
system_profiler for 10.4 provides a great Machine Name string that
describes the machine type. So unfortunately it looks like I am going
to have to translate the MacBookPro1,1, etc. on my own.

I should likely also mention using system_profiler and parsing the
output.
For example "system_profiler -xml SPHardwareDataType" (-xml gives you
a plist) and pull out the "machine_name" entry.
