doc/archdep.txt was the reason to look closer,
and some other files needed a bit of facelift
by now too (would be better to do that in sync).

pauli@ has proposed slightly different setup to what is provided
by livecd-qemu-arch; but the use case might be different either.
At least provide the link to those interested.

This part of docs was pleading to put it into a small shell
script; it was done to facilitate kas@' debugging efforts
so that qemu-system-ppc might eventually get fixed, thus
livecd-qemu-arch package now "obsoletes" this file.

As it happens, adding another architecture required almost no changes;
native 32-bit ppc build took only ARCH and a repo, qemu-ppc one still
has problems (/.host/entry hangs while unpacking setup for fakedata).

Proof of concept on a QS22:

  $ make ve/bare.tar.gz
  ** ARCH: ppc
  /bin/sh: rpmvercmp: command not found
  21:41:01 cleaning up
  21:41:03 initializing BUILDDIR: build/
  21:41:03 preparing distro config
  21:41:05 starting image build (coffee time)
  21:42:48 done (1:42)
  ** image: $TMP/out/bare-20120716-ppc.tar.gz [21M]

mkimage and hasher can make use of qemu to run
non-native binaries while working on the chroots;
thanks kas@, manowar@ and sbolshakov@ for implementing
this functionality as well as providing nice examples
through mkimage-profiles-arm and mkimage-profile-armrootfs.

This required the architecture check to be added since baking
a tarball with "arm" as its specified arch and x86_64 inside
isn't particularly good thing to let slip through; however
the implementation is quite fragile, bugreports and patches
are seriously welcome.

NB: APTCONF evaluation order between lazy make and nimble shell
turned out to be quite a delicate issue in this particular case.
