I'd rather not have two instances of anything.  For packages that
need to swing both ways and are not toolchain components, I'd
rather have a package/foo/ item with Makefile rules for both host
and target (i.e. 'foo' and 'foo-host'), and then have any target
specific makefiles depend on 'foo-host'.
