It's a hack for sure. The mirroring script mirrors ports with each of 
their variants set, so that files only used by certain variants will be 
mirrored. In this case, the files are (on i386) also used for reasons 
other than the variant being set, so end users don't have to actually 
use the variant to benefit from its files being mirrored.
