ia32-libs-*

* Karl Hegbloom 

| IIRC, in the ia32-libs-gtk* source, there's a note about it being a hack
| and that a better long-term solution was being thought over or planned.
| I'd like to know what that is.

Multiarch, which will allow you to install i386 debs on amd64.

| I'd also like advice wrt best short term solution...  I'd like to run
| Realplayer on amd64.  I think that for now, what I'll do is look into
| having the ia32-libs-gtk* build the libraries itself with patches to
| have the libtool --libdir set appropriately.  Does that sound right?
| Will a patch to that effect be accepted?

To be honest, I'm not very interested in hacking on ia32-libs-gtk and
make it work better.  It's a hack and I would far rather spend time on
multiarch.
