I've updated http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/314 with this information and implemented a Windows version accordingly. I now actually think that type of identifier is more useful (if updated automatically) since it gives extra information about who and where a VM was built.
Can I ask you to support getSystemAttribute(1006) in your next versions?
Thanks, - Andreas

I think the compile time plus host name would make a fairly good id - the unix VM has this anyways:
"Linux squeak.hpl.hp.com 2.4.27-1-386 #1 Fri Sep 3 06:24:46 UTC
2004 i686 GNU/Linux"
That would work just fine if the string is based on link (vs. compile) time.
