39 for maximizing the chance to get the most correct value before we decide to use a fixed value (1=desktop)
40- Fixed display cosmetics of UUID, now a convert.c file contains all
41 conversions api, to be completed by function that we should reuse.
42

44 only if overriden
45- Kept SystemID as the only option to change manually the system-id

49- Added JrCs modified convention name change to coding_standards

58- Added "system-type' automatic injection (1=Desktop) plus override possibility
59 with the new system-type option in bootConfig
60- Added SMserial and SMproductname new options for smbios.plist
