Oh bother.  Really should have caught that one.  Ok, the new naming shall 
be whitebox-release-3WB-3.0-4_i386.rpm and 
whitebox-release-3WB-3.0-4_x86_64.rpm unless someone see a problem.

I remember this being mentioned before, guess it serves me right for not 
posting it to the known issues list so I'd remember it.

Ok, two glitches so far.  Enough I'll need to respin yet again but not
quite as embarrassing as leaving out glibc.  Better to have em caught and
fixed now.
