Yeah, that could work, but then again the actual format of the data may
be different measured over several distributions: suppose all `:` all of
the sudden become `=`? Suppose that an identifier like `processor`
undergoes a slicht namechange to `processorid`?
As I said, I didn't know formats of /proc/cpuinfo differ over
distributions/os'es, so it isn't safe to use this approach since all of
the sudden a simly system update *might* just break your application.

Quite right. :-)
