The information is already coded in the topology filename, so it should be 
easy to extend the topology format to refer to the machine variables instead 
using the fixed numbers or strings. Eventually, it may be easy to 
conditionally use a blocks from the topology on demand, if the referred 
variables do not exist.

Yes, it should be handled more elegantly.
