(we're still talking about the case when the user explicitely asks for
64 bit pointers, saying "64" to the build scripts, right?)
Hmm, previously, we had a hard case with 64=ARGV when the user gave
"64", no choice there... Now, the build script adapts to what's
possible (just 64 or 64=ARGV), and so does openssl.c. I'd say that
should be pretty good as a default, so as far as I see, the choice the
user has is to turn off 64=ARGV on systems where it's available... or
would you rather have 64 (without =ARGV) the default when the user
says "64" to the build scripts?
sms> "[.test]maketests.com", too?
Ah, true, forgot about that one. Done.
