Architecture dependent.  That's why I put sizes onto the CD cover.  I
don't have enough cycles to do more.  Sorry, but you guys are already
cutting into my mountain biking time, and a few minutes ago I ate this

rather than experiencing quality time.

Perhaps it is.  I mean, Windows people are having to learn things over
time, why should you be relying on a few enthusiasts to make a
significant dent in that process?  Perhaps if we forced you to do it
