Norm,

Offer to set you up with a Linux shell account on an OSGeo server
running 64-bit Linux stands, if you're interested :)

Is compiling on less common platforms, generally speaking, a goal of the
library? I don't want to flood you with bug reports about lack of
compilation on Mac if the answer is just "we have no intention of
supporting macs". Thus far, it seems that the changes to support
different machines I've tried are relatively minor, so I don't forsee
this being a major issue. (It's easy for things to atrophy when you
don't have access to a particular type of machine/setup!)
