kan (Alexander Kabaev) fealt we could probably just follow Red Hat
Enterprise Linux - which would put both 32-bit and 64-bit bits under
/compat/linux.  Upon thinking more about this; I think this will work.
The linux32(1) command will be a little harder to impliment than seperate
/compat/linux* (and I'm sure other details will have to be solved); but
this does simplify things from a ports application POV.

jhb agreed this was probably the better approach so I think this is what
we'll do.
