When I was trying to import some of the most recent changes from the mercurial
repository I started seeing some 32/64 bit differences.  This was while I wa
trying to figure out why the patches would compile on my laptop and not the
desktop -- momentarily forgetting I have this configured for 64-bit.

I remember reading of some prior work on plan9 to port it, but the person
looking into it got discouraged after awhile because there is a LOT of stuff
which assumes a specific word size.  Anyway, I have little interest in delving
into that at the moment, I was just asking.

Laters,
