I've just started experimenting with using cygport for cross compiling,
and I've come across two issues:

1. This is just a request: The latest cygport for Fedora appends i686 or
x86_64 to the name of the working directory.  I would find it convenient
if cygport did the same thing on Cygwin, at least if the --32 or --64
option is specified.

Actually, that is experimental code (based on a request from another
cygport user) that was accidentally shipped when I had to reroll the
source tarball for compatibility with F20/UnversionedDocDirs.  Would
people like to see this done always, never, or only when cross-building?

There hasn't been much comment on this. Since it would be a visible change for package maintainers, I would appreciate more of a consensus. Are there any objections to making the workdir always arch-specific (IOW name-ver-rel.arch)?
