You note I've sort of let the new tarballs slip a bit, I don't like the
idea of rapid-firing alot more 0.9 releases (hopefully someday soon it will
be mostly static.)

I've been holding out to look at this issue, and the issue of mac filename
case-canonicalization.

The more I think about it, the more that the 64bit AMD seems like the
exception to solve, not static-links.  Let's proceed on this path, and
then pick up the 64 bit compilation issues as a second phase.

Frankly 0.9 really wasn't 64P ready (while 64LP or 64ILP models compiled
fine).  So backporting -this- fix to 0.9 and ignoring the 64amd issues
doesn't bother me at all for 0.9.  For 1.2 / 1.3 it would be nice to solve
every case.

Thanks Branko - and Mladen - I'm studying the code, Mladen's interpretation
for threadpriv.c and compilation on vc 6.0, 2002, 2003 and 2005 flavor VS's
to determine if this is the best solution, and should be ready to comment
more tomorrow.

I'm especially interested in the emits Mladen later reported which I'll work
on diagnosing and explaining.  It might take a bit of reverse engineering.
