x86_64 issues, etc.

[Justin M. Forbes]

I would love to, but would have to work out the logistics... I am an 
individual, with regular cable net access to this system, so it is DHCP 
and I only get one address.  In the meantime I can take existing SRPMs and 
do the build for AMD64 on this system without problem.  Hopefully at some 
point I can look at giving others access, etc.
