Heya!

I have 32 bit versions working on Linux now.  I will upload once we sort out 
the last few issues on MacOS.  I'd like to refactor and consolidate the source 
files into something a little less of a mess, too.

The 32 bit version doesn't seem to work on 64 bit Linux.  I don't know if 
that's normal or not.  It may be a little while until I have 64 bit versions 
working.  There were some show-stopper problems last time I tried (for the 
Linux and MacOS versions, at 
least).

I'm having to exclude it on Linux and MacOS.  The worry is the loss of some 
quality in the ReSID resampler affecting playback and WAV dumps.  I personally 
can't really notice, though.

It would be nice if the ReSID guys converted the MMX code to SSE.

The conversions are moving along.  I forgot to keep the list updated.  Sorry!
