 The right way to approach this I think is to target specific third

 packages to the default install image.

Would you include the following in your "sane" set?

IDL
MatLab
LabView
Mathematica
SAS/IML and SAS/STAT
nag.com library products
any number of proprietary fortran and C compilers

Throw in Sun's 32 bit jvm's too.

Would it be possible to grow rpm meta-packages of 32-bit lib dependencies for common applications as they become known with some consistent name convention so something like
yum install vmware_32bit_libs
would fix things instead of having to know each needed file and which package provides it?

Also, what's going to happen in an upgrade of a machine with existing 32 bit apps? Will the older libs stay? Will they work?
