It doesn't even need to do that, because you can specify which  
architecture to use by way of an Info.plist key.

I didn't write any of the universal support in that branch, so I'm  
not sure why it's doing what it's doing. I'd like to go through it  
and audit or rewrite, but I won't have time until at least after the  
need for speed sprint.

BTW: have you looked at getting ctypes to build on Mac OS X i386? I  
was going to take a look at ctypes performance, but I can't build it  
on my MacBook Pro.
