Do you have a rough idea of the amount of work that it would take to get 
this working? I don't mind doing the work, but I'm not entirely familiar 
with glib. What parts of glib touch (possibly) 64-bit specific code?

Maybe I am just being dense here, but am I right in interpreting this to 
mean: if I fix things to get a 64-bit build, those fixes could more 
easily be merged back into the trunk, where as they would be less likely 
to make it into 2.8?
