I've compiled and tested the previous release on FreeBSD 4.? and NetBSD 
1.5.2 on Pentium, successfully
(except for a NetBSD codepage issue fixed in this release.)

I compiled a much older version on Solaris 8, but haven't done that 
lately.  I don't remember if that qualifies
as a 64-bit platform.

I'm going to do the *BSD builds again in the next day or so.  I've done 
a successful build on MacOS X and
I've got one running on RedHat Linux 7.2.
