This has some demand, judged by the emails I receive offlist and I 
expect it will grow. I must update my hardware soon and should I come to 
posess something that is 64-bit capable, I'll provide and support these 
binaries along with 32-bit ones by default.

In fact, I could cross-compile them now, but then I won't really be able 
to debug them should a plague arise which is not reproducible on a 
32-bit platform.

On the other side, this software is quite bit-independent and it runs 
quite good on 64-bit Unix platforms. Perhaps I should just cross-compile 
 64-bit binaries and send them forth. A bit-related problem is rare 
enough to handle. And the time between now and when I posess 64-bit 
hardware is short, at least by cosmic measures :) :)

Ciao,
