44 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
45- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
46 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.

54 should be more discussed for RC6)
55- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards

65 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
66- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
