I know... That is why I suggested two buildbots. One which runs Leopard and 
builds
a 32 bit version and one which runs SnowLeopard which builds a 64 bit version.
Not perfect, as you can not run the 64 bit version on Leopard, but better
than what we have now.

As I said: we could have two buildbots...

I really have G5 which could build a 64 bit version, but I'm not sure if anyone 
wants
it. Gerald?
