That's a good idea to supply hardware platform as well. Mine were Intel/32 and Intel/64. I am having a devil of a time getting a 64-bit build of the pango/cairo stack to work. My love/hate relationship with GNOME libraries (I love the results from our cairo devices but hate the lame/pitiful autotools-based build system that GNOME insists on using) is getting pegged pretty close to the hate side right now, but I _will_ eventually figure it out.
