As part of this, I would like to suggest again that a noarch directory 
be added alongside x86 and x86_64, and its files be included in each 
arch's setup.ini.  There are a LOT of noarch packages in the distro, and 
it would save both disk space on sourceware and the mirrors, as well as 
bandwidth for all (including users), with a noarch directory.  Of 
course, I am willing to help identify candidates for noarch, as well as 
consider changes to cygport to simplify this.
