Ah, mayhap, but perhaps I install gtk in /usr/local/, and I share
/usr/local (via nfs) with multiple systems.  Data files which are not
architecture dependent are shared, ones that are are not.

The distinction is fine, and some people do this.

I don't get it, sine in any given installation, the arch-indep files are
usually a great deal smaller, and so the separation is usually not
enough to make it worth the effort, but others have other opinions.
