You need this _before_ the build? Because afterwards, it's easy; just
shell glob */dest/.

If you don't care about linux, this isn't too hard. You just need
config.guess, and you can get the sysname from the same logic that's in
acinclude.m4, I think (look for 'your AFS sysname'). If you need linux,
it's a bit more involved, but the logic is also in that file.

Alternatively, it would be easy to have the build process create a
symlink that always has the same name to point to the sysname dir.
