The local-lockers framework uses the "current" symlink in the acro
locker to decide which version-specific locker to sync local.  Since
there won't be a single current version across both platforms, we will
have to become more clever.

I think the simplest answer is to change local-lockers.conf to say
acro/current.@sys, and make current.sun4x_510 and current.i386_rhel4
symlinks in the acro loker.
