a compromise could be to make the swap in 2.3, but only on 64-bit platforms.
it's obvious that most people are stuck on 32-bit platforms today, and I think it's safe to say that users on 64-bit plat- forms might be a bit more willing to build everything they need on their local platform.
another alternative would be to make it a configuration option, with a platform-dependent default.
I like all of that. Maybe it should also be a config option whether refcount, sizes etc. should be 32 or 64 bit quantities on 64 bit platforms.
+1 from this 64 bit user. __________________________________________________ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute
