Hi Jon,
I actually did run yum localinstall    
/...../x86_64/skype-4.2.0.11-3.fc20.x86_64.rpm
and yum downloaded and installed all the i686 libs, so I did not have to 
do any guess
work as to what packages skype needed.
I was only interested in avoiding having to download 32 bit libs.
But..... alas, it is not to be.
