[csw-maintainers] GAR: Adding a /opt/csw/lib/foo/64 --> /opt/csw/lib/foo/{amd64, sparcv9} link

I'm working on a library package with the *.so files in
/opt/csw/lib/foo.  The package will have 64-bit support, so the shared
objects will be:

/opt/csw/lib/foo/*.so
/opt/csw/lib/foo/sparcv9/*.so
/opt/csw/lib/foo/amd64/*.so

I've noticed that CSWcommon provides a symlink: /opt/csw/lib/64.  It
points to amd64 or sparcv9 depending on the host architecture.  This
link is needed to provide a architecture independent -L flag for
64-bit builds: /opt/csw/lib/foo/64.

I guess that something along the lines of ln -s sparcv9
/opt/csw/lib/foo/64, or amd64, depending on the architecture.  What's
the right GAR idiom for it?  Should it be a post-merge target?
