oops, trimmed out the rest of my email by accident, rewritten below.

64-bit systems have the advantage of registered (or whatever its called) 
64-bit integers, right?  but in C, integers are still 4 bytes, and longs 
are 6 bytes?  So the only real issue is pointer sizes, which I believe 
are larger.

So the only thing that could break 64-bit compile is not using the 
sizeof keyword, and storing pointers in non-pointer variables (like an int).

so Blender shouldn't have any problems, then.  just external 
librarys--perhaps we should be concentrating a little on making sure 
python and yafray--and SOLID--work under 64-bit systems.
