Capture hostname in machine configuration #58

Open

Description

Knowing the hostname is useful. Recently I was importing a foreign machine config file (checking issues on the Mac) and noticed that the script was using the name of the machine where I was uploading it, not the name of the original machine. Given that machine name is an important human-usable clue where something originated, this is undesirable.

I think the right thing to do is to capture this information in the machine configuration file. This would require changes on all supported platforms, but the actual implementation is simple (gethostname()).
