Need to port our networking module (NetLib) to x64-64 Mac OS X.

Attachment: fix v1.0

Aside from some little compiler stuff and picking a UA string, the big thing this patch does is disable the Apple file decoder under 64-bit. That will be a major pain to port and if we need to we can port it later. We should disable it now and file a bug on porting it, no need to hold up the 64-bit port for that.

Apple, at this time, uses just "Intel" for their UA string arch for 32-bit and 64-bit.

That seems like it's probably not the best idea; we might want to have a bug on file on fixing it.

I filed bug 489586 on the UA string issue.
