Bad idea this way. It will destroy many systems (look at perl dirs). 
poldek:/all-avail> rsearch -f /i686/
Przeszukiwanie pakietów..........................................zrobione.

367 package(s) found.

Anyway - at least /etc/rpm/platform has to be fixed.

In athlon dir should stay only rpm package which will make all the 
required changes:
- /etc/rpm/platform
- poldek sources fixes
- something with patckages arch-dependant (paths, some hardcoded things).

If we will make some nice way to do arch-switch it will be prepared for 
future moves
