Feature #962
closedAdd system package to identify platform
100%
Description
It would be helpful to have a pkg installed that identifies the system that was built.
This can be done by adding a generic package build with command line option to set the system name at build time.
This new package can be called piconf and contain generally useful configuration options. Alternatively, this could be added to pmsui since all system builds include that package.

This basically the same thing that xeoncfg does for Xeon builds. So I can just duplicate that repo as piconf.
The metabuild can then add this package to each system, passing in a variable that sets the system, as in
make SYSTEM=<system> pkg
This will require build.sh checking for a token in the build command (re: [MODE]) that can be replaced by the -m value (re: $MODE).
