64 bit: "noarch" packages and going beta

Greetings venerable maintainers,


I have two questions:

- Does anybody know of a simple way to find out which packages in the 32
  bit distro are actually "noarch' packages?  The reason I'm asking is
  that I'm looking for a simple way to fill up the 64 bit distro with
  all the packages which don't come with binaries, but consist entirely
  of scripts and docs.

- Those of you testing the 64 bit Cygwin:  How do you judge the
  stability of the 64 bit Cygwin DLL?  Is it still rather pre-beta, or
  are we in a stage where we can offically open up the test distro to a
  wider audience?


Thanks for your input,
Corinna
