[sldev] Direction for Snowglobe 1.3

[Trilo Byte]

Believe me, there is ENORMOUS demand for 64-bit in Linux and Mac.  And the general userbase on both those platforms is already in a much better place for 64-bit (since they're already on 64-bit capable OS's, if not currently running in a 64-bit mode - that's got to make it a bit less messy than having the vast majority of users still lagging behind in 32-bit, doesn't it?

I'm a fan of puppeteering as you know but, then again, is that what folks on that list think the priority should be? IOW, would that be the feature that would drive folks to use Snowglobe and contribute to it?

It's not so much the coding work that makes me shy away but the monitoring of yet another batch of builds (and fixing that requires). May be we should start with 64 bit Windows as this is the one that seems to be really in demand.
