The best thing would be to have a single multi-architecture library in a "lib" 
folder. Which would mean going back to "lib" instead of "lib32".

And when the 64-bit version appears, you can easily combine the two 
architectures into a single library file using the "lipo" command and let the 
linker handle things from there on.
