The files are just binaries, they just need to be put into the
packages as they are. There's no unpacking.

Modulation-specific directories would do it, if the file names were
different for each modulation. This scenario would work:

http://www.example.com/download/x86/foo-x86
http://www.example.com/download/amd64/foo-amd64
http://www.example.com/download/sparcv8/foo-sparcv8
http://www.example.com/download/sparcv9/foo-sparcv9

But in this case we have:

http://www.example.com/download/x86/foo
http://www.example.com/download/amd64/foo
http://www.example.com/download/sparcv8/foo
http://www.example.com/download/sparcv9/foo

I think that file renames are necessary.
