EZproxy wish list: 64-bit binaries

This one is an easy one: I'd like to see a 64-bit build of EZproxy.

Why?  So I don't have to have 32-bit and 64-bit runtimes on my servers.  It is not uncommon to have bugs and security issues that show up when running 32-bit software on a 64-bit system.

Having a 64-bit build of EZproxy would reduce the size of my installed virtual machine disk images, wipe out a whole category of operational issues that arise from file sizes in 32-bit binaries (log files > 2GB, 4GB file downloads, etc.), close any possibility for 32-bit security issues.

Now, about those 64-bit dynamic binaries....
