I'm not sure a single /sw will even work cross platform. I'm thinking of config files which may have different settings, paths which have architectures in them, etc. With this in mind, /sw should be thin, and I'd use the existing apt mechanism to handle different architectures, and skip fat entirely. This will cause some heart burn for people who want to cross compile, but will be the simplest approach.
