Here we go:
https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libx264/
forked from lib32-libx264 and using a stable commit
(forking is in not more difficult or work than to create a new repo)

The version number is created the same as in libx264 except that I
didn't add an epoch.
I also added some code to automatically depend on libx264 with the same
API version (144 currently).
This explicitely does not need the exact same version,
but a different API version between lib32 and normal breaks compiling
packages using the lib32 version. For already compiled packages this is
no issue though.

@Gordon:
I made you co-maintainer.
