Good point.

Yes, how would we determine the repo subdirs for a specific machine 
without too much
anonymous python magic in a recipe, considering multilib setups?

Example for qemux86-64:
-- 
all
x86_64 = ${TARGET_ARCH}
core2-64 = ${??}
qemu86_64 = ${MACHINE}
-- 

If we can get a sane way to retrieve them, modifying the repo feeds via 
install/postinstall should be the easy part.

Agreed.
