Installation support for x86_64 arch

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is your environment?
* OS: Fedora 12 x86_64
* Remuco version: 0.9.2
* Client device: Nokia 3120
* Player: Rhythmbox 0.12.6

What steps will reproduce the problem?
$wget http://remuco.googlecode.com/files/remuco-0.9.2.tar.gz
$tar -xzf remuco-0.9.2.tar.gz
$cd remuco-0.9.2
$sudo make install-rynthymbox
(...)
$cat install-rhythmbox.log
/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/remuco/remuco.rb-plugin
/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/remuco/remythm.py

What is the expected behavior? What happens instead?
$cat install-rhythmbox.log
/usr/lib64/rhythmbox/plugins/remuco/remuco.rb-plugin
/usr/lib64/rhythmbox/plugins/remuco/remythm.py

Additional information:
The plugins should be installed under /usr/lib64/ on x86_64 systems.

Temporary work around:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/remuco
/usr/lib64/rhythmbox/plugins/remuco

Do you know of a generic check if a system is 32 or 64bit?

The following code checks if the *python* installation is 32 or 64 bits.

$python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 21 2009, 12:23:57)
[GCC 4.4.1 20090818 (Red Hat 4.4.1-6)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ctypes
>>> ctypes.sizeof(ctypes.c_void_p) * 8
64
>>>

Though, for checking it against the whole environment, which I think it's safer,
"uname -m" could be useful. 

$python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 21 2009, 12:23:57)
[GCC 4.4.1 20090818 (Red Hat 4.4.1-6)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.call(['uname', '-m'])
x86_64
0
>>>

BTW it's not only related to rhythmbox, but with all the 'plugins' adapters.

This issue was updated by revision 92ada5afa1.

The Totem and Rhythmbox adapters get installed to the player's system
wide plugin directories which is /usr/lib on 32bit and
/usr/lib64 on 64bit systems. This patch adds and architecture check
before installing these 2 adapters.

Could you please test this? See
