Those are awesome! What a peek behind the curtain of large-scale ksh 
script. Thanks for sharing!

use nameref to evaluate the value of $i :

str="Linux arnot-VirtualBox 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 
14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
...
for i in ${!uname.*}
do
         nameref j=$i
         print $i '->' $j

done

also, take a look at src/cmd/ksh93/tests and
http://svn.nrubsig.org/svn/people/gisburn/scripts/
