May I change this so that we only build 32-bit versions again,  
please? I've already encountered ports that built fine as 32-bit  
universals that fail as 64-bit universals. Also, we still haven't  
thought of a solution for all the users who already have 32-bit  
+universal ports installed. What happens when they upgrade to a  
version of MacPorts that includes this change and continue building  
+universal ports? Everything goes to Hell, that's what happens,  
because the new ports want to build 4 architectures but the existing  
dependencies are only built with 2 architectures.

If nobody offers a clear objection to this in 72 hours I'll change it  
to just the two 32-bit architectures again.
