exclude=*.i?86

How should includepkgs look?  If I do this to install nvidia-x11 the
exclude kills it.  It wants the following i[3,6]86 packages.

 nvidia-x11-drv          x86_64     1.0.9755-1.nodist.rf  rpmforge
      11 M
Installing for dependencies:
 glibc                   i686       2.5-12           base              5.1 M
 libX11                  i386       1.0.3-8.0.1.el5  updates           796 k
 libXau                  i386       1.0.1-3.1        base               18 k
 libXdmcp                i386       1.0.1-2.1        base               19 k
 libXext                 i386       1.0.1-2.1        base               35 k
