Yeah... unfortunately. It's November 2015, the 64bit servers are
installed and if I recall correctly they are working; it's pretty hard
to find a 32bit machine any more, and yet we still can't get "official"
64bit builds.

Thanks to those who do provide the "unofficial" 64bit builds - is there
a build config flag that will allow checking for updated versions in the
64bit builds?
