Is there a reason why compat-readline43.i386 isn't in the x86_64 tree or 
is it just an oversight?

I'm just working my way through the set of expected compatability 
packages for SL50 x86_64 and this was the first one I found that wasn't 
present.

BTW I'm impressed that whatever magic causes it to pull in the relevant 
i386 library packages seems to work without me having to list them all 
(well I seemed to need to list much more in SL3/SL4 with those versions of 
anaconda...)

One minor annoyance is that I want to have the firefox.i386 so we can use 
i386 plugins etc.  Installing both i386 and x86_64 happened by default but 
then /usr/bin/firefox runs the x86_64 version.  If I remove the x86_64 
version it wants to also drop devhelp, yelp since those depend on the 
x86_64 package.  What is the right way to have both available and users 
able to pick which one they run?
