If you know of a way to translate that "PowerMacX,Y" to something like G[345]
(without hardcoding it), that would be nice.

How about

$ system_profiler SPHardwareDataType

I'm looking into patching Test::Smoke::Sysinfo to get better platform- specific information by parsing this output (or the corresponding XML -- don't worry: I won't haul in modules to do it). How would you like fields from the above to be presented on the Subject line?

And if this is a G5, can you also plan a smoke for -Duse64bitall?

Yes, that was the point of the original mail: because I want things to be out of the way by the time I start using the system in anger each day, I'll be running 32-bit and 64-bit smokes on alternate nights. If I can, I'll find a way of distinguishing between the two in the reports' subject lines.
