 > This is impossible for a 64-bit build. Tk-aqua is not 64-bit capable

 ... I keep forgetting about TclTk.  I guess I should add the same arch
 strip to the nviz makefile that I once had in the wxnviz/vdigit makefile.
 But as you say, the configure check needs the same.  Could you attach a
 patch here so that someone could try to get it into the source? (I believe
 a patch to configure.in is preferred)

 > MacOS 10.6 will be 64-bit from top to down

 I keep hearing this rumor, but that doesn't make sense -- there will be a
 lot of 32bit apps that will stop working that can't or won't be updated by
 developers.  The system may well be all 64bit, but I don't think Apple
 will drop 32bit, but at least provide a transition in 10.6.

 I also heard that PPC support will be dropped.  This makes more sense,
 since we've had the transition time with Rosetta in 10.4 and 10.5.
