Now why isn't this on the website? I mean, you have to figure out 
yourself what the roadmap is by reading these posts. Until just recently 
one could thought that porting optlink to C was on the roadmap (at least 
as a long time goal) and I guess get up to date with TDPL. Then suddenly 
out of no where we can see commits about 64bit. What happened to those? 
Are they still on the roadmap?
