When we did the 68K->PPC transition, Gestalt didn't lie about the CPU
model. I don't know why Gestalt would need to start lying now. That
seems bug-report worthy.

You have to "call out" in order to find the info.
Or you can check the result of getenv("GL_RESOURCES"); Or you can see
if a specific file is opened by your application but these two methods
are bound to change.
Really wish there was a gestalt for the lies.

I would like to find out CPU Type (PPC or x86),
At runtime you can use a UNIX function:
#include <mach-o/arch.h>
NXArchInfo *info = NXGetLocalArchInfo();
printf( "name = %s\n", info->name );
printf( "description = %s\n", info->description );
. . . .
see UnixManual for arch in chapter 3:
/usr/share/man/man3/arch.3
