Everything runs very nicely in 64-bit [by everything i mean everything which is 
proposed for Integration in this collection of ARC Cases -- PCRE, CURL, IDN, 
PHP, Apache, etc].

For me, providing 64-bit builds entails two things:

1. Updating the FastTracks to reflect this fact
2. Creating 64-bit builds

It is not *that* bad. It is one extra week at most.
