Summary: ia32el RPM missing from Centos

Initial Comment:
Image build on a Centos 4.1 ia64 (RHEL4 clone) fails 
because the package ia32el isn't included in CentOS. 
 
I think the reason for not including this is that the license of 
this package in RedHat-EL4 is LGPL/Commercial. The 
ia32el package contains the ia32 execution layer needed 
for running ia32 applications. This is some sort of an 
emulator and I bet the rights for the package are more in 
the hands of Intel than those of RedHat. 
 
We can solve this in 2 ways: 
- Leave the package out of the rpmlist (which would be fine 
with me, recently I didn't see anybody trying to run ia32 
applications on Itaniums) 
- Create a centos-ia64 rpmlist without this package and put 
an advice in the manual to select this rpmlist when creating 
an image on centos-4-ia64. 
 
ScientificLinux includes the package, by the way. A third 
solution could be to add a download link to the manual for 
Centos users. 
 
How should we proceed?
