Create a shell script that determines the situation, and then runs the
correct one.

file ~/bin/g88 contains:
	exec ~me/bin/`arch`/$0 $*

and there are directories in ~/bin called sun3, sun4, etc.
This can be extended to support more than just `arch` if desired.

Or whatever else is required to do the job.
This along the lines of how Framemaker is shipped.
