thanks, Jack
I check darwin9 quite often, and that is OK with trunk too.

whilst it would be nice to have m64 to work on D8 - I'm wondering if it is
simply more trouble than value (esp. if the User has only 32bit hardware).   I
wonder how many G5 owners have a reason to use D8.

for now,  trying a build on my remaining d8 box (500M G4, so .. will take 12+
hours)... 
... also will try a X to D8 on my quad G5.
