[Lightning] AMD64 GNU Lightning port & using lightning....

[Basile STARYNKEVITCH]

Hello all (especially Paolo),

I'm glad to read useful mail (non-spam) on the lightning mailing list.

Does any one wants, needs, or dreams of a port of GNU lightning to AMD64?

I'm wondering why GNU lightning is not more used. In particular, 
I am surprised that, given that Paolo is the maintainer of GNU sed 
-and other GNU utilities- GNU lightning is not used there.
I do know that most commands are disk bound (including grep & sed) 
but I still believe they could be speeded up by using Lightning 
there (to transform the automaton into code).

Regards.
