I disagree. I run a 64 bit Seti client on my amd64. I think that's
useful enough. The 64 bit client for Seti is available from a third
party, or it can be compiled form source. The client is not downloaded
automatically because seti does not distribute a pre-compiled 64 bit client.
Nonetheless, my amd64 is not a i386. I do not run 32 bit programs, I do
not have 32 bit libraries, and I don't want them. I definitely do not
want boinc-client to depend on 32 bit libraries.
