This package (64bit version of openmcl) doesn't create any libraries,
but there is an executable and lisp heap image, both 64bit, and both
specific to 64bit powerpc processors.  Hmm I suppose what I could do
is depend on the 64bit-cpu virtual package and then also have an
Architecture: powerpc line in the info file.  That seems  like it
should work.  I'm not sure about the package name, though.  Following
your lead, I should name the package openmcl-64bit, which seems a
little too generic in this case.  Maybe openmcl-ppc64bit?

Thank you very much for your help,
