Does anything need this or is it just for completeness?

I was thinking of a 64 bit GIMP which would definitely profit from >2GB memory, but that is a long-term project.

OK. There are a host of other parts needed for that. I didn't an obvious candidate in the depend list and that's because there isn't one. How does GIMP use 2G of memory on a sane sized image? Don't ask! GIMP is a bloater anyway, is this a case for a gimp64 package?

I'd like to make an AMD64 graphicsmagic and ghostscript to improve conversion speeds but I'm still waiting for sub parts.

For ghostscript 64 bit Kerberos is missing.
For graphicsmagic 64 bit Perl is missing.
Both parts are not that small...

graphicsmagick only uses perl for scripts so 32 bit should do.
It also needs: CSWlcms, CSWlibfpx, CSWwmf and CSWgs if the lib option is used (which is not for now)

gohstscript also needs cups but probably only the libs are needed. A question for a cups expert.

This is a child because lcms needs fixing first, not that I give a monkey's what you call it because it doesn't change what needs doing.

I just pushed 1.0.10,REV=2013.06.05 including 64 bit libs.
