Modifying cygport(1), cygport(5)s, and other build scripts in some
fashion is inevitable for any of these solutions.  The only way to avoid
that would be to not support multilib in any form.  Since it seems I've
been outvoted on *that* point, the only question is finding which method
of multilib support which is the least painful.
