The fact that some packages don't exist yet for 64-bit is something
that does deserve highlighting.  Of course, whether or not the package
actually exists for 64-bit, the package search will tell you if it
exists in the 32-bit world, so at least one knows what to look for.
In this particular case, I did go looking to see if 'procmail' was
already available for 64-bit.  As it turns out, it is.
