Summary	Build 64-bit binaries and libraries of R3
Description	Currently, we have 32-bit binaries and libraries of R3. Please provide 64-bit binaries and libraries. This wish deliberately does not discuss the relative pros and cons, as such a discussion would miss the point: 64-bit systems simply are a fact these days, R3 should not neglect to fully and natively support them. As R3 was described as fully 64-bit ready several times, many reckon that basic 64-bit builds should be easily doable. Getting those builds rather sooner than later would help in ironing out any kinks that might remain.

(0004238) abolka 17-Feb-2014 22:35	Related pull requests (in chronological order): https://github.com/rebol/rebol/pull/142 (Shixin's original series of adaptations) https://github.com/rebol/rebol/pull/178 (Ladislav's work on top of Shixin's) https://github.com/rebol/rebol/pull/209 (178 slightly restructured and rebase for current mainline) With the changes in 178 / 209, 64-bit builds are stable and on a par with 32-bit builds for day-to-day use.
