 {{{
 To get 64-bit support, I was able to get a large chunk of
 boost-1_33_1 to build on darwin by inserting
    -arch ppc64
 in strategic places in the darwin-tools.jam file. This was sufficient to
 be able to use the filesystem and program-options libraries in a 64-bit
 app I've built that needs to access > 4GB. Some libraries failed to
 build however, and I don't really know what I'm doing.

 Attached is a patch file showing what I added where.  Also, it would
 probably be best to add
    -arch ppc -arch ppc64
 to get "fat" binaries that work for both 32-bit and 64-bit code.
 However I'm no pro with these things.
