Could it be an option to add the relevant information to
sage_root/install.log and prune from there? Some of the info we're looking
at is already available in that file. For instance... info copied from an
install.log:

uname -a: Linux dirichlet 2.6.31-21-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 24
07:28:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
gcc version 4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9)
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes


I can create a Python script to gather information on Red Hat and Debian
based systems about hardware. As for OS-X, Solaris, BSD and *gasp* installs
under Cygwin or similar, I have little idea. I also am not sure how to
proceed in a consistent manner for other non-RH/D-based Linux systems like
Slackware.
