This solves the problem for now, and we already are planning to change
multilib for F8.

Changing multlib for Fedora 7:
1) isn't on the feature list
2) would slip the release (due to the necessity to fix broken upgrades)
3) is after the feature freeze


.. all for a whopping 6 packages in Extras that need tweaked in some way?
