Indeed... and probably thunderbird and claws and knode and... and...

BTW, "long" is 32-bit on x86_64 too, right?  Or is it 64-bit?  I know the 
addresses are 64-bit, but if I'm not mistaken, one of the porting issues 
was that a lot of software expected memory addresses to be unsigned long 
and on 64-bit, they're not, but rather unsigned long long, or /something/ 
like that.  Did I get it right?  And plain int, is that 16-bit, or 32?
