Note that we do this right now via an environment variable set within each G2 mkdeps script called MACHINE_NAME, that is a simple string that the build-gkylzero shell script checks. If a user is building on a totally new system, they will need to make a gkylzero mkdeps script and a gkyl mkdeps script. To be documented online.
