yeah.  that's not going to work so much.  the last one you delivered
into the repo will win. (content and duplicate packages for both
platforms will be in the repo, but the last one you deilvered will have
a newer timestamp so that will get installed.)  the solution here is fat
packages, which is done via merging both platform packages into a single
package.  (so that each action that is platform specific get's a variant
tag.)  that's what bart/shawn are trying to wrap up.
