Does anyone know of a way to programmatically determine whether ones Mac code is running on PowerPC or Intel hardware?

#import <sys/sysctl.h>

BOOL SKWLaunchedByRosettaHeuristic(void)
{
#ifndef __i386__
    int mib[2] = { CTL_HW, HW_MODEL };
    char model[32];
    size_t len = sizeof(model);
    if (sysctl(mib, 2, &model, &len, NULL, 0) == 0) {
        return len == 9 && strcmp(model, "PowerMac") == 0;
    }
#endif
    return NO;
}
