First wish for FC4 x86_64: Separate mumbli-config files for 64-bit and 32-bit libs

Most of the mumble-devel packages contain a library configuration file
called something mumble-config, which is installed as /usr/bin/mumble-
config.  This makes it impossible to install mumble-devel for both the
64-bit library and the 32-bit library on AMD x86_64 systems.  Which, in
turn, makes it impossible to develop many 32-bit applications on these
systems.  This bit me while trying to build a 32-bit version of mplayer,
which is needed to access most of the publicly available codecs, which
would have been easy otherwise -- just 'export CC="cc -m32"' before
running configure.

How hard would it be to separate these configuration files by placing
them in (say) /usr/bin32 and /usr/bin64, to be used only for packages
with the same name that produce different results depending on the
desired architecture, or in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64, or /usr/lib/bin
and /usr/lib64/bin, or whatever?

At any rate, I wish something like this could be in FC4 for the AMD
x86_64 processors.
