   Thanks!

   running the vanilla version on 64-bit Suse 10.2 AMD output (note the
   segfaults and the funny little (if you think an Iron Maiden is funny)
   hyperspace diffs:

   (Note: nothing changed, apart from commenting out the active LDFLAGS
   in Makefile, because crm114 won't build at all otherwise)

So, the new WGET version _segfaults_ on you?

Grumble.... what's most annoying is that I can't really even begin
to debug this; I have no 64-bit machines available.  (except maybe
my MythTV box and that doesn't ride the train with me).

Maybe now is the time to start global replacement of int/long/float/double
with the "proper" 32/64-bit architecture-clean macros.

Even if all it does is to let us run cleanly on Linux on 32 bit OR 64
bit, that would be a big advance.

And if we can do Linux32, Linux64, and Windows 32/64, that's 99% of
the battle.  

So, I will propose the followimg macros (names carefully chosen to be 
at least moderately easy to type and easy to do a global replace which
gets us most of the way there).   what should the following macros really 
be?

  Macro       storage on 
  Name        Linux 32-bit

  Char        8-bit char
  UChar       8-bit unsigned char
  Int	      16-bit integer
  UInt	      16-bit unsigned integer
  Long	      32-bit integer
  ULong	      32-bit unsigned integer
  LLong	      64-bit integer
  ULLong      64-bit unsigned integer
  Float	      32-bit floating point number
  Double      64-bit floating point number
