This seems to be an ongoing thing. I see 3 fundamental requirements
that need to be met in the ia32 compat.

#1. Allow installation of 32-bit binary packages on AMD64 machines.

#2. Provide the bits nessisary to build i386-only ports on an AMD64
machine to run in compat mode

#3. Have some logical way to split the 32-bit system, from the main
AMD64 base. Otherwise, there's no chance we'll get configure scripts
to ever work properly.

I like the "/usr/compat/ia32" idea, myself.
