Ok, understood cheers.  I think we'd all agree that Apache "should" be
64-bit happy. I kind of have the feeling that the maintainers of the
various broken things will not have much of a reason to make their
modules/etc 64-bit happy until the upstream package moves to 64-bit by
default. I'd like to make Apache happy first, then work around the
niggling little things.
