For the most part I doubt I'd be much help, but if you're looking for a way
to work cross-platform, you have a few options.

1) Package all the installers together, and use your script to determine the
system, either by user input, or by looking for a file that should exist on
the system. It might be safer to ask for user confirmation in that case,
though.

2) Do the same thing, but instead of packaging all the files, retrieve them
from the 'net.
