Unfortunately because python-trinity is neither a configure nor a
cmake-using project, it's hard :( however it is reasonable to do it by
inspecting the system configuration, and assuming that if /usr/lib32
exists then we want a 64-bit lib and a 32-bit lib32. (You cannot do the
opposite and look for lib64, because a some distros have a lib32, a
lib64 *and* a lib, with one of those being a symlink to one of the
others: but in all such cases that I am aware of, lib is 64-bit.)

(Why yes, this *is* a bloody mess. Bring on Debian-style multiarch!
Which would mean more changes to python-trinity of course.)
