Maybe I missed the discussion on this one...
I was trying to work on pacbuild but quickinst doesn't work for me.
If I'm not mistaken, we should have a setup directory in core/os/i686,
right?  Is there a reason why we don't?  Is this all we need to convert
over to the new repo layout?

Im already working on a fix for it, it's not yet finished but today i'll have 
it i think.
I already fixed it for myself, here is a copy.
