They're not noarch (despite the packaging of some other distros)-- we 
found this out the hard way when they were briefly noarch for a period 
of time until we noticed the dictionaries failing on big endian and/or 
64bit platforms (forget which) like the ppc. If this has changed with 
very recent versions of the 0.50 series, it will require retesting.
