It would be nice if rpmbuild could make noarch sub-packages when the
main package has an architecture.  This would be useful for games and
other programs that have large data files in a single source archive.
If the data files are not arch-dependent, they could be put in a
noarch subpackage which would save space on the repositories.
Currently doing this requires building the subpackage from separate
source package.
