Actually, it does matter.  I have a dual boot box with both 32 and 64
bit copies of the Linux OS.  I built and installed the current trunk on
both OSes.  The migration runs to completion on the i586 OS.  When I run
the migration on the x86_64 OS the migration fails almost immediately:

ssphys: unrecognized file
Try `ssphys --help` for more information
ERROR -- FAILED with non-zero exit status 255 (cmd: "ssphys" info
-ewindows-1252 "/path/to/database/data/names.dat")
at /usr/bin/vss2svn.pl line 1481
File does not exist:  at /usr/bin/vss2svn.pl line 130

ssphys seems to have problems when built for 64-bit Linux.
