program_options works (meaning all tests pass) under Tru64 which is a 64 
bit platform, so I would be surprised to hear that there are any 64 bit 
issues in the library itself.

IIRC there were some size_type vs. unsigned issues which could cause 
failures on 64 bit platforms, but I think Vladimir fixed those.
