[phobos] OS X lib32?

[Jacob Carlborg]

I think the right approach is to build universal binaries and keep them in the folder named "lib".

But the current approach which is to put a symbolic link in /usr/local/lib pointing to libphobos2.a won't work anymore if the binary for the two architectures are kept in separate files...
