Right. proj2 will be my own sorcery version with multilib support (and 
few other minor features). In order to have my work available to anyone 
who want to test it, I put the patches in bugzilla yesterday and will 
try to apply them on proj2 when i got some time.

I'm not arguing that multilib should go into stable sorcery.
I'm not arguing that multilib is of any high priority.
I'm arguing that I want to make it available to anyone for testing.
