I've deployed an updated calm, and moved perl-Test-Base to noarch.

 From my brief testing, setup handles this layout with no problems. I 
also checked that noarch files in a download package directory shared 
between x86 and x86_64 setup works as expected.

Uploads to noarch should also now be accepted, although cygport needs 
teaching how to do that.

Thanks for the list.  I'll look at moving more stuff if no problems appear.
